This paper shows a modern Japanese-style painter Gyokudo Kawais view of garden presented through his gardens of Nisho-an villa (built in 1917, at Tomioka, Yokohama), and as references, through residence (1939, at Ushigome, Tokyo) and also Gu-an villa (1945, at Okutama, Tokyo). All of the three gardens were built by Gyokudo together with gardener Ryuji Ohgo, both of whom agreed with making a natural coppice garden. The research was conducted through analysis of theme of his paintings and sketches, documents by his gardener Ryuji Ohgo, and interview to each of his own and his gardeners grandson. As a result of research, his view of garden is recognized as a presentation of the full-scale of rural and coppice nature which he showed in his work of painting. The garden for him, to be linked with surrounding natural landscape, could be a place not only to get the subject of a painting, but to put his passion into painting. In conclusion, his gardens might be added to a genealogy of Japanese modern natural “coppice” gardens and also added to a series of the natural gardens by modern Japanese-style painters in Taisho era.
