	Kanazawa Travel: Kenrokuen Garden
		Kenrokuen is justifiably classified as one of "Japan's three most beautiful landscape gardens", and many people consider it the best of them all.
		The spacious garden used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle, a private garden of the ruling Maeda family.
		Kenrokuen features various ponds, streams, waterfalls, bridges, teahouses, trees, stones and flowers.

		Kenrokuen, one of the most beautiful Japanese landscape gardens in the world, took over two centuries to complete.
		Inside Kenrokuen, which means a garden combining the six attributes of a perfect garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water and broad views.
		Kenrokuen was the outer garden of Kanazawa castle and served as the Maedas’ private garden; as such; aristocrats and commoners were unable to enter the garden without the permission of the lords.

	Kenrokuen
		I don't know what the original Chinese author meant, but for me, while Kenrokuen was clearly spacious (I spent a couple very long days here during my October trip, and perhaps I got to most corners of the garden), many times the sense of spaciousness was upwards rather than outwards.
		Like most places in Japan, Kenrokuen is very bounded -- there's an outside and an inside -- and so the sense of spaciousness is different than what a Montanan would expect.
		It was nice although that night (it was quite dark by the time the concert happened) the garden was more crowded than I had ever seen it during the day.

		The main attraction in Kanazawa, however, is Kenrokuen, the sprawling hilltop garden that ranks as one of Japan's three greatest.
		Kenrokuen was once the private garden of the Maeda clan, the rulers of Ishikawa Castle.
		Like many Japanese gardens, Kenrokuen was intended as an artful recreation of nature in the wild; as such, it embodies the six attributes that, according to the Japanese, make for the perfect garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artfulness, antiquity, water, and panoramas.

		However, for the city, the center of attraction is the Kenrokuen Garden, the private garden of the lord of Kaga domain.
		The winter landscape of the garden is particularly appealing because of a practice known as yukitsuri, in which the branches of old pine trees are tied with ropes to poles and thus forming a distinct characteristic not seen anywhere else in Japan.
		Kenrokuen is laid on a wide scale, offering much open tranquility, expanded vistas of light and deep space, designed to deny the existence of privacy.

		Kenrokuen, located in the center of Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, was originally the private garden neighboring Kanazawa Castle which was the residence of the Maeda Family, the feudal lord reigning the area in the Edo Period (1603-1868).
		The garden was developed by the family of Maeda down through the generations from the 1620s to 1840s and completed after more than 200 years of work.
		The name "Kenrokuen" means "a garden combining six." The garden was so named because it was considered to have all six attributes of a good garden stated in Chinese literature in the 11th century; spaciousness, quietness, human strength, stateliness, water and rocks, and beautiful views.
