GV II
Japanese House.

Timber frame with wooden cladding and hipped shingle roof. A 2 storeys rectangular building with projecting verandah- as at 2 levels with separate roofs and small gabled porch. Of the type named SEI-SHIN-TE (the Pure Heart) used principally as a retreat from a main house. Normally placed outside a garden, but this is in the garden and is more ornamental for this reason. Paper sliding screens on E replaced by glass. (Japanese Garden (1933) 20-1).
