Tokonoma Garden — Sanumaya no Niwa

Tokonoma Garden — Sanumaya no Niwa

About this garden

The Tokonoma Garden — Sanumaya no Niwa revives the tradition of viewing a beautiful landscape from the tokonoma, a raised alcove once central to Japanese family life. Visitors experience the tranquil view from outside, where stone, moss, water, and seasonal plants create a contemplative scene inspired by the designer's childhood memories of his family's Sanumaya drapery store.
