The garden includes a couple of skillful shakkei or borrowed landscape views.

It has been said that there are landscapes one can walk trhough, landscapes one can walk throug, landscapes which can be gazed upon, landscapes in which one can dwell… Those fit for walking through or being gazed upon are not equal to those in which one may dwell or ramble.   Kuo His   painter, Northern Sung
