Sansui narabini nogata no zu


A secret textbook for gardening handed down at Shinren'in of Ninnaji temple, Kyoto. Zōen is said to be the author but its authorship and date are uncertain. A copy with a postscript of 1466 is still extant. The work appears to have been written sometime between the end of the Kamakura period to the start of the Muromachi period.
