One of the oldest references to sakura being cultivated is to the 'shidare-zakura' (しだり櫻/糸櫻 'weeping cherry'), first mentioned in a Heian period work.
It is thus thought to be the oldest cultivar in Japan.

The garden is divided into two parts: the 'Garden of Yin' (陰の庭 'In-no-niwa') and the 'Garden of Yang' (陽の庭 'Yō-no-niwa'). Together they represent Buddhism uniting the dual aspects of the universe.
The gardens feature only sand, rocks, moss and between them the weeping cherry.
