Koishikawa Kōrakuen Garden (小石川後楽園) is in Koishikawa, Bunkyō, Tokyo, adjacent to Tokyo Dome City. It is one of two surviving Edo period clan gardens in modern Tokyo, the other being Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden, and one of the oldest and best preserved parks in Tokyo.
The construction was started in 1629 by Tokugawa Yorifusa, the daimyo (feudal lord) of Mito han, and was completed by his successor, Tokugawa Mitsukuni.
Mitsukuni named this garden "Kōraku-en" (Kōraku means "enjoying afterwards") after a Chinese teaching of "a governor should worry before people and enjoy after people". The garden shows strong Chinese character in its design, as it was influenced by the West Lake of Hangzhou. (Wikipedia)
During a period of peace and prosperity., the Temple of Dawn was a place for shogun, samurai and daimyo to pursue and develop art forms intended to keep the minds of military men off of war.

These are the terraced defensive walls of Toba Castle, in Toba City, Mie Prefecture, was originally built in 1594 by Kuki Yoshitaka, one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's pirate leaders turned daimyo and one of the naval leaders of Japan's failed invasion of Korea. True to Yoshitaka's ties to the sea, the main gate faced the ocean and the castle grounds gave a nice bird's eye view of Ise Bay.
The Kuki held the castle until 1633, when the Tokugawa shogunate gave the 30,000 koku Toba fief to the Naito clan, who expanded the castle grounds and built a 3-story tenshukaku (main keep). After more daimyo transfers, the castle finally came under the control of the Inagaki family in 1725, which held the castle through the end of Japan's feudal system which came about at as a result of the Meiji Coup of 1868.
Just some stone walls from the castle are all that is left. The Meiji government ordered the castle destroyed in the early 1870s. However, the castle's main keep was destroyed in the Ansei earthquake of 1854 and was never rebuilt.

After I uploaded my creation for chapter 1 of the book of Boba Fett last week I proudly present to you my newest MOC, this time a scene from chapter 2.
ATTENTION!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!
[...]
Fett and his entourage visit Garsa's Sanctuary, which is full of droids and patrons. Taking off his helmet, Fett meets with Garsa, who offers him a table. Fett explains that Mayor Mok Shaiz sent him here on the pretext that there is something that he should know. When Garsa gives a nervous look, Fett remarks that she is sweating like a gumpta on Mustafar. Garsa explains that "the Twins" have laid claim to their late cousin Jabba's bequest. Fett replies that he heard the Twins were preoccupied with Nal Hutta to bother with Tatooine.
The cantina grows silent as they hear drums beating in the background. Fett, Shand, and the Gamorreans walk outside to see a procession carrying two Hutts on a litter. As the litter approaches Fett's entourage, the Hutt brother tells Fett that they have business to discuss. Fett replies that this is his territory, prompting the Hutt brother to reiterate that this is Jabba's territory and now theirs. One of the drummers presents a tablet stating the Hutts' claim to Tatooine.
Fett rejects their claim, stating that he is the Daimyo of Mos Espa. The Hutts laugh, with the brother asking if this is so. An armed black Wookiee known as Black Krrsantan, who is armed with a heavy blaster, approaches Fett and his entourage. Fett is not intimidated, stating that these are not the death pits of Duur, and that he is not a sleeping Trandoshan guard. Fett replies that Mos Espa is his territory and tells them to go back to Nal Hutta. The Hutt sister speaks in Huttese. Her brother replies that Fett has upset his sister and that he is more patient than her, who wants to kill him.
As Shand and Krrsantan load their weapons, Fett explains that Jabba is gone and that his former majordomo Bib Fortuna usurped his territory. Since Fett killed him, all that belonged to Fortuna now belongs to him. Fett says that they will have to kill him for it. The two Hutt siblings speak. The Hutt brother says that bloodshed is bad for business and that this matter can be dealt with later, though he warns Fett to sleep lightly.
As the drummers beat their drums, the two Hutts withdraw. Black Krrsantan growls at Fett before walking away as well. Shand tells Fett that they will have to get permission to kill them since they are Hutts. Fett suggests that the matter is settled but accepts that it is not yet over. [...]
My creation shows the arrival of Jabba's cousins in the streets of Mos Espa. For the cousins I bought a second version of the Jabba minifigure (the one with the gray face to have a little difference between them).
Hopefully you enjoy the second chapter of the disney + series like I did and I hope you enjoy that creation too.

Shōkozan Tōkei-ji (松岡山東慶寺), also known as Kakekomi-dera (駆け込み寺) or Enkiri-dera (縁切り寺), is a Buddhist temple and a former nunnery, the only survivor of a network of five nunneries called Amagozan (尼五山), in the city of Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is part of the Rinzai school of Zen's Engaku-ji branch, and was opened by Hōjō Sadatoki in 1285. It is best known as a historic refuge for women who were abused by their husbands.[1] It is for this reason sometimes referred to as the "Divorce Temple".
The temple was founded in the 8th year of Koan (1285) by nun Kakusan-ni, wife of Hōjō Tokimune (1251–1284), after her husband's death. Because it was then customary for a wife to become a nun after her husband's death, she decided to open the temple and dedicate it to the memory of her husband. She also made it a refuge for battered wives.
In an age when men could easily divorce their wives but wives had great difficulty divorcing their husbands, Tōkei-ji allowed women to become officially divorced after staying there for two years. Temple records show that, during the Tokugawa period alone, an estimated 2,000 women sought shelter there. The temple lost its right to concede divorce in 1873, when a new law was approved and the Court of Justice started to handle the cases.
The temple remained a nunnery for over 600 years and men could not enter until 1902, when a man took the post of abbot and Tōkei-ji came under the supervision of Engaku-ji. Before then, the chief nun was always an important figure, and once it even was a daughter of Emperor Go-Daigo. Tenshū-ni, the daughter and only survivor of Toyotomi Hideyori's family, son of Hideyoshi, entered Tōkei-ji following the Siege of Osaka. Such was the nunnery's prestige that its couriers did not need to prostrate themselves when they met a daimyō's procession.
The two main buildings of the complex are the Main Hall and the Suigetsu-dō, but the latter is not open to visitors. The temple's old Butsuden, an Important Cultural Property, was bought during the Meiji period by businessman Tomitaro Hara and is now in the garden he built, Yokohama's Sankei-en.
When I visited Kumamoto in February 2013, I was lucky to have an amazingly rich blue sky to provide a nice background for my external photos.
I think many of the photos from my trip showcase stone wall designs that were employed by Katō Kiyomasa, the daimyō who first built this castle. He really was a master castle builder. The Hosokawa, who received the Katō's 530,000 koku fief after it was repossessed by the shogunate in 1632, inherited one heck of a gorgeous and very formidable castle.
To put it in perspective, the grounds of the castle were a massive 980,000 square meters, and its perimeters covered an area out to 5.3 km. There were 49 turret towers, 18 tower gates and 29 regular castle gates.
The castle survived the Edo period without falling victim to fire or natural disasters, but in 1877, just before the start of the Satsuma rebellion, an accidental fire did break out that gutted the main keep, the palace and other important structures. Then in February of that same year, a rebel army from Satsuma (Kagoshima Prefecture), led by Saigō Takamori, laid siege to the castle for nearly two months. The castle was defended by the Imperial Japanese Army and withheld the siege, but more buildings were destroyed during the fighting. Today's castle is a fero-concrete reconstruction, but the honmaru goten (palace) was rebuilt using traditional material and opened in 1998.

In the early 17th century european traders and missionaries was banned to enter Japan. The shogunate believed that the europeans were forerunners of a military campaign and therefore they were expelled.
The project is inspired by these events. The scene depicts some desperate Europeans who tried to take refuge in a castle.
Koishikawa-Kōrakuen is a seventeenth-century garden in Koishikawa, Bunkyō, Tokyo. The garden was begun by Mito Yorifusa in 1629, and completed by his son Mito Mitsukuni. It was created with advice from the Chinese scholar Zhu Shun Shui, and incorporates elements of both Chinese and Japanese taste.
It is one of three surviving daimyō gardens of the many that were created in Edo after it became the military capital of the country, the others being the Rikugi-en and the Hama Rikyū gardens.

Wakayama (和歌山市 Wakayama-shi, Japanese: [ɰakaꜜjama]) is the capital city of Wakayama Prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan.
It is about 80km South of Osaka, in Osaka Bay.
Wakayama is cleft in two by the Kinokawa River. The city is bordered at the north by mountains and Osaka Prefecture.
In the city center is Wakayama Castle, built on Mt. Torafusu (the name means "a tiger leaning on his side") in a city central park. During the Edo period, the Kishū Tokugawa daimyō ruled from Wakayama Castle. Tokugawa Yoshimune, the fifth Kishū Tokugawa daimyo, became the eighth Tokugawa shōgun. This castle is a concrete replica of the original, which was destroyed in World War II.
Wakayama is home to one of Japan's three Melody Roads, which is made from grooves cut into the pavement, which when driven over causes a tactile vibration and audible rumbling transmitted through the wheels into the car body.
Wakayama Prefecture is famous across Japan for its umeboshi (salty pickled plums) and mikan (mandarins).
Wakayama has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) with hot summers and cool winters. Precipitation is significant throughout the year, and is greater in summer than in winter.

Taken in the garden of Happō-en, in the Shirokanedai area of Tokyo. Happō-en used to be a mansion belonging to the Shimazu daimyō who ruled the powerful fief of Satsuma, present-day Kagoshima in Kyūshyū. Following the Meiji Coup in 1868, ownership of the property transferred to Saigō Takamori, one of the leaders of the imperial forces from Satsuma that overthrew the Shogunate.

Thinking about Hirado today, so here is an unpublished photo of Hirado Castle from the archives.
A brief history of the Matsura clan and Hirado Castle:
The Matsura family of Hirado, in present-day Nagasaki Prefecture, has a long and storied 800-year history. The clan’s origins are quite colorful—they were involved in trading with Korea and China, smuggling and even piracy. During the epic war between the Taira (Heike) and Minamoto (Genji) at the end of the Heian period, the Matsura sided with the Heike and provided men and boats for the climactic battle of Dannoura, which ended in a complete victory for the Minamoto and paved the way for their leader, Yoritomo, to establish the Kamakura Shogunate, beginning the era of warrior rule of Japan.
During the Kamakura period, the Matsura, through their trading and smuggling network along the vital Chinese ports and trade paths, helped keep the Shogunate informed of Kublai Khan’s invasion plans for Japan in 1274 and 1281 and once again supplied men and material to fight the Mongol invaders. Later on, in the 1500s, as Japan fell deeper into the chaos of civil war, the Matsura gradually increased their powerbase and became a hub of international trade with the Portuguese, Dutch and English, amassing an incredible amount of wealth in this little corner of Kyushu.
The Matsura allied themselves with Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he invaded Kyushu as part of his campaign to unify Japan. In return for their loyalty, Hideyoshi confirmed Matsura Shigenobu as daimyo (feudal lord) over Hirado, a holding valued at an annual income of 63,200 koku (1 koku = amount of rice needed to feed one person for a year). This income was handsomely complimented the amount of money the Matsura were hauling in from legitimate foreign trade as well as the old smuggling and piracy connections (direct involvement in piracy seems to have faded by the early 1600s). As a loyal vassal to Hideyoshi, Shigenobu led a large contingent of his samurai into Korea as a part of Japan’s failed invasion of Korea from 1591-1598. Upon the end of the war, the Matsura built Hinotake Castle as the clan’s main residence. However, the extensiveness of the Castle’s defenses, combined with the clan’s neutrality during the clash between the pro-Toyotomi and Tokugawa forces at the battle of Sekigahara brought the clan under the suspicion of the Tokugawa as they consolidated power under their new shogunate. Knowing the clan had much to lose in terms of trade grants as well as its fief, Shigenobu took the dramatic step of setting Hinotake Castle on fire to show the Tokugawa that he was defenseless and at their mercy as a loyal retainer.
But as things came to a head again between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa at the siege of Osaka in 1615, the Matsura again found themselves under Tokugawa scrutiny as the troops the Matsura pledged to the Tokugawa cause arrived after the fighting had ended. From this point forward, things went downhill for Hirado and the Matsura, who lost their trading rights when the Tokugawa centralized all foreign trade in nearby Nagasaki, which was under direct shogunate rule, in 1641.
The Matsura were given permission by the shogunate to build a new castle nearly 100 years after the burning of Hinotake-jō. In 1704, work began on Kameoka Castle (today’s Hirado Castle) and it was completed in 1718. Literature from the castle states that 555,000 laborers were involved in the castle’s construction. The design was based in part on the teachings of Yamaga Sokō, a famed Edo period military strategist and Confucian scholar. The castle was abandoned in 1871 and only the Kitakoguchi gate and Tanuki turret are original surviving structures. The main keep as well as the other turrets are concrete and steel reconstructions. The main keep was rebuilt in 1960.

Quite in the centre of Uwajima on a hill in the lovely Shiroyama Kôen stands the late-medieval castle built by daimyo Date Munetoshi. It's a bit of a slog uphill on mossy steps in heavily wooded terrain, especially in the drizzle. But now and then there are little clearings, almost meadows, and they were colorfully alive this morning with the blue flashes of our Commelina communis, red-purple Spiranthes sinensis, purest of whiteTrifolium repens, and many more. In English often called Asiatic dayflower, and today more appropriatedly in Japanese 'tsuyukusa', Dew Flower.
Carolus Linnaeus (1753) provided it with its Latin designation derived from the family name of two Dutch botanists, Jan and Caspar Commelijn (late 17th - early 18th century). Though the plant is pretty much cosmopolitan today - even regarded often as a pest and a weed - , it does originally hail from Asia. It was described extensively by Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716), who called it 'Koo-seki', as he understood the Japanese. Kaempfer had been in the service of the Dutch East Indies Trading Company (VOC) and was stationed as a surgeon at the Dutch trading 'colony' Dejima (near Nagasaki) 1690-1692. He found time to botanise as well, and was especially happy that he was allowed twice to make the arduous journey from Nagasaki to Edo (now Tokyo). He was thus able to put together a formidable collection of plants. Later another European botanist in Japan, Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828), also a surgeon at Dejima (1775-1776), registers Commelina as wel. He wasn't able to see the flowers though: 'it was sent to me from the interior reaches of the province but without the flowers', he writes with a note of regret.
In today's weather the blue was exactly what I needed!
drowned by the sea of flowers. who says dating is only for teens? LOL!

This garden is a typical Daimyo(Japanese feudal lord) garden in the Edo period with a tidal pond(Shioiri-no-Ike) and two wild-duck hunting sites(Kamoba). A tidal pond means a pond that are infused with seawater in order to change flavor along a pond by flood changes time to time, of which style had been popularly used in coastal gardens in the Edo period. The whole pond had been reed fields and used for falconry site for Shogun families.

Le château de Hiroshima (広島城, Hiroshima-jō) parfois appelé château de la Carpe (鯉城, Ri-jō) est un château japonais à Hiroshima au Japon. C'était le siège du daimyō (chef féodal) du fief Han de Hiroshima. Construit originellement en 1590, le château fut entièrement détruit par la bombe atomique de 1945. Il fut reconstruit en 1958 et sert de musée de l'histoire de Hiroshima avant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.
Terumoto Mori, l'un des cinq régents du conseil de Toyotomi Hideyoshi, construit le château 1589 sur le delta de la rivière Ōta-gawa. La ville de Hiroshima n'existait alors pas encore. Cette région s'appelait Gokamura, qui signifiait « cinq villages ». À partir de 1591, Mori gouverne neuf provinces depuis ce château. Ces provinces correspondent actuellement à peu près aux préfectures de Shimane, Yamaguchi, Tottori, Okayama et Hiroshima.
Quand la construction du château commença, Gokamura fut renommé « Hiroshima » qui signifie littéralement « grande île » (de hiroi, « grande » et shima, « île ») faisant référence à l'une des îles du delta de l'Ōta sur laquelle fut bâti le château1. Une étymologie probablement populaire prétend que le nom de « Hiroshima » viendrait de "Hiro" issu de Ōe no Hiromoto (en), un ancêtre de la famille Mori, et "Shima" issu de Fukushima Motonaga qui aida Mori Terumoto à choisir l'endroit pour la construction de l'édifice.
Après la bataille de Sekigahara en 1600, Mori fut forcé de quitter le lieu et de se retirer à Hagi dans l'actuelle préfecture de Yamaguchi. Fukushima Masanori devint le seigneur des provinces d'Aki et de Bingo (actuellement préfecture de Hiroshima). Cependant, le nouveau shogun interdit toute construction de château sans la permission du gouvernement d'Edo ; c'est en partie comment le shogunat empêchait le daimyō de gagner en pouvoir et permettre de renverser le shogunat. Quand Fukushima répara le château à la suite d'une inondation en 1619, il fut expédié à Kawanakajima dans l'actuelle préfecture de Nagano. Asano Nagaakira devint alors le seigneur du château.
De 1619 et jusqu'à l'abolition du système féodal Han pendant la restauration Meiji (1869), la famille Asano furent les seigneurs des provinces d'Aki et de Bingo.
Après la restauration Meiji, le château fut utilisé militairement et le quartier général de l'armée impérial s'y installa durant la guerre sino-japonaise de 1894 à 1895. Les fondations de bâtiments annexes au quartier général restent visibles à quelques centaines de pas de la tour principale.
Le château fut détruit par la bombe atomique le 6 août 1945. La tour actuelle, reconstruite en grande partie en béton, fut terminée en 1958.

Historical garden, where we together with french sketcher Arnie drew in the morning.
Built in 1884, Tojotei was the residence of Tokugawa Akitake (1853-1910), brother of the last Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu. Akitake was supposed to be the next shogun after Yoshinobu, but the Tokugawa reign and Edo Period ended before his time. Akitake only became the last daimyo of the Mito Clan in Ibaraki. He retired at age 30 and lived the rest of his life at Tojotei, a spacious, Japanese-style residence on a hilltop. (from internet guide)
Koraku-en Garden is a Japanese garden located in Okayama Prefecture.
It is one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, along with Kenroku-en and Kairaku-en. koraku-en was built in 1700 by Ikeda Tsunamasa, lord of Okayama. The garden's form almost had turned into the modern form in 1863.

Tourists flow through the giant Ishidorii (Stone Torii Gate), the entrance to the Tosho-gu and one of the remaining features of the original 1617 shrine, was dedicated in 1618 by Kuroda Nagamasa, the feudal lord of Kyushu Chikuzen (present day Fukuoka Prefecture). The stone for the gate was transported by ship from Kyushu to Koyama and then manually hauled over land to Nikko.
The gate marks the entrance to the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate that ruled Japan for over 250 years until 1868. The shogun equested in his will a shrine to be built in his honor. One year after his death in 1616, the complex was completed. His grandson though, Tokugawa Iemitsu, thought that the mausoleum was not impressive enough, so he had it rebuilt in its lavish, over the top, design seen today. Ieyasu is enshrined at Toshogu as the deity Tosho Daigongen, "Great Deity of the East Shining Light". The complex, completed in 1634, was funded by the daimyo (the local feudal lords) with an estimated equivalent cost of ¥40 billion in today’s money, a brilliant move from Iemitsu’s side, who wanted to prevent rival lords from amassing fortunes of their own. The shrine complex was registered as a World Heritage site in December 1999.

In the early 17th century european traders and missionaries was banned to enter Japan. The shogunate believed that the europeans were forerunners of a military campaign and therefore they were expelled.
The project is inspired by these events. The scene depicts some desperate Europeans who tried to take refuge in a castle.
Nikkō Tōshō-gū (日光東照宮) is a Tōshō-gū Shinto shrine located in Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
The Yōmei-mon (陽明門), or the Sunset Gate or Sunlight Gate, also known as the Higurashi-mon, or Twilight Gate or From Sunrise to Sunset Gate, as visitors can spend all day looking at it, was constructed in 1636. The wooden gate is more in the Chinese style than the Japanese style, lavishly decorated with glimmering gold leaf and 508 intricate, colored carvings.
A seated statue of Hideyoshi Toyotomi is placed on the right side of the gate, and a seated statue of Yoritomo Minamoto on the left.
The final supporting pillar of the gate is placed upside down--a deliberate error to introduce imperfection and thus avoid arousing envy in the gods.
Nikkō Tōshō-gū (日光東照宮) is a lavishly decorated shrine complex consisting of more than a dozen Shinto and Buddhist buildings set in a beautiful forest. It was initially built during the Edo period in 1617 by Tokugawa Hidetada (徳川 秀忠), the second shogun, as a simple mausoleum for his father, Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川 家康) (1543-1615), the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Ieyasu was buried on Mount Kunozan on his death in 1616, but according to his testament, his remains were to be moved to their last resting place at Nikko. It was enlarged during the first half of the 187th century by Ieyasu’s grandson, Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川 家光), the third shogun. Some 15,000 craftsmen were employed on the construction of the Toshogu Shrine, most of them coming from Kyoto and Nara, where there was a great flowering of architecture at that period. The result was a complex of buildings with an over-lavish profusion of decoration, incorporating all the sumptuousness of the preceding Momoyama period.
Today the shrine is dedicated to the spirits of Ieyasu and two other of Japan's most influential historical personalities—Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉) (1536-1598), a daimyo (territorial lord) in the Sengoku period who unified political factions of Japan; and Minamoto no Yorimoto (源 頼朝) (1147-1199), the founder and the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, ruling from 1192 until 1199.
Together with Futarasan Shrine and Rinnō-ji, it forms the Shrines and Temples of Nikkō UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 42 structures of the shrine included in the nomination.

Shōkozan Tōkei-ji (松岡山東慶寺), also known as Kakekomi-dera (駆け込み寺) or Enkiri-dera (縁切り寺), is a Buddhist temple and a former nunnery, the only survivor of a network of five nunneries called Amagozan (尼五山), in the city of Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is part of the Rinzai school of Zen's Engaku-ji branch, and was opened by Hōjō Sadatoki in 1285. It is best known as a historic refuge for women who were abused by their husbands.[1] It is for this reason sometimes referred to as the "Divorce Temple".
The temple was founded in the 8th year of Koan (1285) by nun Kakusan-ni, wife of Hōjō Tokimune (1251–1284), after her husband's death. Because it was then customary for a wife to become a nun after her husband's death, she decided to open the temple and dedicate it to the memory of her husband. She also made it a refuge for battered wives.
In an age when men could easily divorce their wives but wives had great difficulty divorcing their husbands, Tōkei-ji allowed women to become officially divorced after staying there for two years. Temple records show that, during the Tokugawa period alone, an estimated 2,000 women sought shelter there. The temple lost its right to concede divorce in 1873, when a new law was approved and the Court of Justice started to handle the cases.
The temple remained a nunnery for over 600 years and men could not enter until 1902, when a man took the post of abbot and Tōkei-ji came under the supervision of Engaku-ji. Before then, the chief nun was always an important figure, and once it even was a daughter of Emperor Go-Daigo. Tenshū-ni, the daughter and only survivor of Toyotomi Hideyori's family, son of Hideyoshi, entered Tōkei-ji following the Siege of Osaka. Such was the nunnery's prestige that its couriers did not need to prostrate themselves when they met a daimyō's procession.
The two main buildings of the complex are the Main Hall and the Suigetsu-dō, but the latter is not open to visitors. The temple's old Butsuden, an Important Cultural Property, was bought during the Meiji period by businessman Tomitaro Hara and is now in the garden he built, Yokohama's Sankei-en.
Koishikawa Kōrakuen Garden (小石川後楽園) is in Koishikawa, Bunkyō, Tokyo, adjacent to Tokyo Dome City. It is one of two surviving Edo period clan gardens in modern Tokyo, the other being Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden, and one of the oldest and best preserved parks in Tokyo.
The construction was started in 1629 by Tokugawa Yorifusa, the daimyo (feudal lord) of Mito han, and was completed by his successor, Tokugawa Mitsukuni.
Mitsukuni named this garden "Kōraku-en" (Kōraku means "enjoying afterwards") after a Chinese teaching of "a governor should worry before people and enjoy after people". The garden shows strong Chinese character in its design, as it was influenced by the West Lake of Hangzhou. (Wikipedia)
