The result of the main study is as follows. The contents of garden use can be divided four period. The first period was that time when the Gardens of Toba-dono and Kameyama-dono prospered. The second period was that the Garden of Kitayama-tei was a time which had begun to prosper. The third period was when the Garden of Kitayama-tei which prospered declined. In the fourth period, the gardens mainly had been used for the villas of court nobles until the late Kamakura period, but in the Nanboku-cho period, a style of the Zen gardens of Tenryu and Saiho Temples had begun to be utilized. There is cause of this change in the following factor. Tenryu Temple built as a Zen temple was designated as a temple exclusively for the emperor’s family, and all of the gardens of the villas went into ruin. The study results indicate that even though the time changed into the Nanboku-cho period from Kamakura period, retired Emperors and Emperors still enjoyed boating, appreciating gardens and listening to Japanese court music in the Zen gardens.
