Lit. Chinese style garden. A general and problematic term used to distinguish gardens with an exotic continental flavor from more traditional Japanese gardens. Generally the term is used for Edo period gardens such as those at Shisendō 詩仙堂 and Ikkyūji 一休寺 in Kyoto, which feature three-story stone pagodas, higakitō 檜垣塔 or other Chinese style stonework.
