Shinzan Garden at Mizuno Museum - The Mizuno Museum is an art museum of modern Japanese-style paintings established on the long-time collection gathered by Masayuki Mizuno and opened in 2002. The museum has a large collection of traditional Japanese artworks. Another feature of the Mizuno Museum is its beautiful landscape garden. It’s founder was fascinated by Japanese paintings, ukiyoe and kimono designs and decided to share this with as many people as possible as he considered that artworks are an indispensable asset for humanity, and only meaningful if they are shared. In designing the museum, a Japanese garden was added both to enhance and better appreciate the paintings within the museum itself. Also, Japanese Gardens are to be considered an art form in and of themselves. He named the garden Shinzan with a famous and planted a magnificent Shinshu tree within the garden.
