Funda-in Garden - Funda-in was founded in the 14th century by Ichijo Tsunemichi during the Muromachi Period in Japanese history and was the family temple of the Ichijo clan.  The southern garden at Funda-in was laid out by Sesshu in the mid-15th century and is called the "Garden of a Crane & Turtle" and alludes to legends in Chinese mythology including that of Mt. Horai, a mountain on one of the four islands of the immortals. The garden is one of the oldest dry landscape gardens in Kyoto. "Tsurujima" represents a paper crane and the two level "Kamejima" The garden can be viewed from a wooden veranda that runs alongside the main building leading to a beautiful four and a half tatami tearoom.
