The southwest quarter was assigned to Akikonomu. For her mother, Lady Rokujo had once lived there. The hills, preserved from the old garden, were chosen for their rich autumn colors. Clear spring water went singing off into the distance, over rocks designed to enhance the music. There was a waterfall, and the whole expanse was a wild profusion of autumn flowers and leaves. The beauty of falling leaves exceeded that of the mountains of Sagano, a reputed place for autumn sight seeing.
