A part of the northeast quarter was fenced off for equestrian grounds. Because the Fifth Month would be its liveliest time, there were irises along the lake, from where people could enjoy horse races and equestrian archery. On the far side were stables where the finest horses would be kept.
A Lady Akashi lived in the northwest quarter. Beyond artificial hillocks to the north were rows of warehouses, screened off by pines, which would be beautiful in new falls of snow.
