Works tied to Shojo are on display. In addition, the Shokado Garden is where you can enjoy cultural assets that are national historical sites and scenic spots such as Soan Shokado and Izumi-bo Shoin along with the scenery of the four seasons.

  • 松花堂弁当の由来となった庭園

    松花堂弁当の名前の由来となった庭園。今でも園内に料亭「吉兆」があって、予約をすれば松花堂弁当が食べられる。庭園は内園と外園に分かれているが、内園は2018年の地震で影響を受け、現在修復中で見学できない。それにしても修復に時間がかかり過ぎている気がする。内園の主な見所は、いくつかある茶室。そのほか美術館もある。

    松花堂弁当の発祥ですね。庭園はこじんまりとしていて常緑樹中心に、モミジや椿が少し植わっている感じで、素朴というか侘びさびを感じるようなつくり。美術館については、訪れた時には個人収蔵品の企画展を行っていました。

    あの松花堂弁当の松花堂ですね。地下の展示室が美術館です。庭園は古い建物などもあり、季節ごとの花木が手入れもゆき届き、美しい風情です。
