    It is known that the Suizenji Garden in Kumamoto derives from the Suizenji-Jyojuen-Garden which was made by the Hosokawa Family, the former feudal lords of Kumamoto, but it is not made clear when and by whom it was built. Our study aims to clearize those problems by surveying the site and investigating the old literatures, chiefly Eisei-Library (collection of documents and letters preserved by the Hosokawa Family). As a result of the studies it was known that the origin of the garden was Kokubu-Ochaya (a small tea house with a garden), and a major part of the present garden was constructed during the times from 1670 to 1671 by various designers. The designers held usually an occupation called Sadogata, a tea teacher for the feudal families and their retainers. Those designers are Jinsai Kayano the 1 st. and Soan Furuichi the 2 nd. and others. They worked under the direction of the lord himself, Tsunatoshi Hosokawa.
    Though some modification were added (for instance, the new tea house was rebuilt and two stone bridges were built), the principal feature has not been changed until the present times.

    The surroundings of the Kyoto Gosho, once lively with residence of court nobles, began devastating after the capital-transfer in 1869 to Tokyo. The Japanese government framed a plan, in 1877, to buy the land of residence area and to remove houses thereon, thereby converting the area to a fire-zone for the Gosho. Actual operation for the construction was ordered to the Kyoto prefectural government.
    The project covered, in addition to the buying the land and removal of the houses, building earthen walls, gates and roads, and planting trees. The Kyoto prefectural government completed the project in 1880, and thus the prototype of the Kyoto Gyoen Garden was established. The total expence for the project was 45, 000 yen.
    The present prosperity of the Kyoto Gosho is apparently based in part on the Garden-establishment project of 10 decades ago. Therefore, the Gardenestablishment project should be highly appraised.
