Abstract
This paper aims to reveal the design for a development on the northeast part of ‘Yoshidayama’ by a man of prosperity in the modem era. The upper area was set as a wide garden for tea-ceremonies, using the hill's terrain. Exceptionally around the tea-houses plenty of view-points were created by manipulating terrains to enjoy the transition of scenery. The lower area was set as a high-quality residential zone, formed on stair-like platforms. It is identified that these areas create a proper order when people approach toward nature, by manipulation of terrains and composition of architecture, gardens, and paths.
