This is an interesting garden. As the pond is set low, you always look down onto its surface and can enjoy the reflection of the castle, trees, stone lanterns, and bridges. I had to look up (no pun intended!) the kanji for Ukimi and see that it means float. On the pond surface, there are a lot of fallen leaves floating, so it is an apt name. Wouldn't the study hall be a good place to have an embroidery or quilting exhibition and lectures? I love Japanese architecture and landscape gardens.

You visited this at such a beautiful time of year. I love seeing the autumn colors. This one would be a real gem for me.
