鶴亀の庭

thumb|図南亭から望む東庭 Funda-in (芬陀院) is a subtemple of Tofukuji, a Rinzai Buddhist temple in Kyoto. It is also called Sesshu-ji (雪舟寺) due to its garden having been created by Sesshū Tōyō.

History

During the Genkō era, Ichijō Uchitsune, the chief adviser to the Emperor, established Fundain. Since then it has been run solely by the Ichijō family.

Structure

• Drawing room - In 1755 the room burned down, but the empress dowager of Emperor Momozono bequeathed them the gift of the same room from the Imperial Palace. It was restored in 1899.
• Zunantei - This teahouse was rebuilt in 1969 as part of the 300-year memorial of Ichijō Akiyoshi. A washbasin and stone lantern attributed to Yukari Keikan was discovered in the bare earth underneath.
• Chinese-style gate

Garden

It is said that Sesshu, who is known as a master painter, created the rock garden, though it was destroyed by fires during the Genroku and Houreki period, but was restored by Mirei Shigemori in 1937.
