Hide it, burn it, store it, open it!
This is the secret of "disaster view"~
It is a symbol of the Hamarikyu Garden.
The largest black pine in Tokyo with the inscription "Pine of 300 Years".
It was planted in the era of the 6th Shogun Ienobu Tokugawa, and has been watching the changing world for more than 300 years.
Tree height 12m. 4.31m around the trunk. One of the two-legged trunks crawl thick branches low in a semicircular shape.
As soon as you enter the garden major Kadoguchi, you can see its male figure on your left.
The photo was taken last summer.
I would like to take a picture of the spread of this black pine branch from an angle that can be understood more.
I wonder if the late-blooming plums are at their best in canola flower, a flower garden?
With that in mind, when I checked Hamarikyu's website, I found that "it is now closed temporarily."
Oh, is it closed while declaration of a state of emergency is being issued?
In recent months, we have hardly gone out except for workplaces to maintain the prevention of infectious diseases.
I was striking the movement of the world.
I have prepared an annual passport to release my mind and body under the sun on a sunny holiday.
(By the way, the annual passport seems to be remedy to add the temporary closure period to the expiration date.)
Well, let's move on to the main subject.
Garden landscaping techniques have been accumulated and developed for many years.
One of them, "Shakkei", creates a sense of view and unexpectedness by incorporating and harmonizing the outside scenery as the background of the garden.
In the correspondent blog, Hajime summarized interestingly as "Chuo-ku Borrowing View (2020.9.4)".
And there is a technique called "shokei".
This is a space processing method that gives a sense of expectation by narrowing the entrance of the garden or placing obstacles, not showing the whole garden directly, or showing only a part of the garden.
Hidden me
Although the landscape term "short scenery" is unfamiliar with it, there are places where you can actually experience it in Hamarikyu.
Let's visit there.
After passing the site of the Yan Liaokan in the park and further passing Houmetei, the road ahead will be covered with trees.
I can't see what is going beyond that.
I'm impatient.
And he went into the path in the trees.
I'm going to enter more and more.
Collect it,
At the end of the scenery I thought would open at the exit, a teahouse building was placed, further blocking the view.
You can open it.
When you go around the teahouse, there is a rich water surface of about 5,800 tsubo, which forms the center of the garden.
It is a "tidal pond" that draws seawater from Tokyo Bay.
Ochiyaya of Nakajima's Ochiya make up the accent.
It is an exciting view that is freed from the tension of the narrow paths passing through trees.
In addition to these trees, temporary mountains, peak stones, barriers, etc. are used.
He casually hides important places, keeps them scorched in the contrast between light, dark and wide areas while moving, and expects surprises and excitement when the view ahead opens quickly.
It's not easy to show.
It is a higher tactic that can be used in many situations.
The master of the road will tell you. "What's wrong with it?"
Is it a little different?
A bird's-eye view of the garden.
From the observation room of a nearby skyscraper, I took a bird's-eye view of the entire garden.
This is also a photo of last year.
The garden that spreads under your eyes is so large that you can't make three secrets.
Yeah. But now, it's important for each person to act tightly.
At the end of the garden, you can see Tokyo Bay. The depth is clear at a glance.
When this situation converges, let's go to the sea.
