Kyokutou-tei Garden at Ogura-tei Residence was created in 1951 by Shigemori Mirei and with his craftspeople they created it in just a few days. Three stone work arrangements enclosed in hair moss in a beautifully organized garden best viewed from the shoin. The three stone work groupings are the hourai - a formal grouping visible from the shoin. On the left is there is a semiformal grouping, and on the right side is the an informal grouping. The borrowed landscape from the nearby mountains are incorporated naturally. Horai Shinsen’s view of the world applies an unusual treatment of traditional tea ceremony garden.
