The aim of this paper is to give the actual situation and significance of dramatic amusements in the Imperial garden at the beginning of Kinsei era. In Genroku period, courtiers enjoyed a dramatic re-enactment of a spring day in the garden of the former Emperor Meishos suburban residence in the midst of August. Cherry trees were adorned with artificial blossoms, extremely lifelike dolls were placed in the garden pavilion (ochaya), and courtiers themselves put costumes on. Indeed the whole garden functioned as a stage for the dramatic amusement. These were often unique events and they rarely appear in surviving documents nor their objects remain. However, its tradition is likely to have continued for some time into the history. One of characteristics of these amusements was the life-size dolls, the main attraction in the production. This reflects the sense of period when puppet shows were becoming increasingly popular. Similar events also took place in daimyo gardens, and indeed this entertainment genre is likely to have been cultivated and nurtured through the cultural interaction between warrior and aristocratic classes. This paper explores the culture of garden amusement at the beginning of Kinsei era, and the function of garden that is not necessarily apparent from its material appearance.
