Yomeien Garden is a Chinese style garden that was created in partnership with Yuyao City in Zhejiang province, China. It celebrates the friendly international exchange between Yuyao City, the birthplace of Wang Yangming (1472-1528), and Adogawa-cho, the birthplace of Nakae Toju (1608-1648), who followed Yangming’s Confucian teachings and is seen as the father of Confucianism in Japan. Almost all of the materials used in the garden’s construction were shipped in from China, and the design reflects famous traditional Chinese gardens.
