　Suminoe no Niwa is a garden created in the 41st year of the Showa period (1966) by a famous landscape gardener who represented Japan, Mirei Shigemori. This garden was created with the theme of the scenery of waves and the seascape of Sumiyoshi, as the Sumiyoshi Shrine was for a sea deity. The distinctive arrangement of stones expresses Horaijima (a place where a wizard was said to live in ancient China), and the three undulations going across the garden express waves. The bamboo fence is called an "aboshi fence" and abstractly designs the scene of fishermen hanging nets to dry on the seaside as a bamboo fence. 　Shigemori created many gardens, but he said that he highly evaluated this garden as one that even he himself could agree with, and it can be said to be one of the best famous gardens in terms of modern dry landscape gardens.
