「由志園」島根県松江市・”Yuushien” Matsue city,Shimane pref

由志園は島根県松江市の中海に浮かぶ大根島において高麗人蔘と牡丹苗の栽培および販売を営んできた。島根における高麗人蔘の栽培は江戸時代に松江藩六代藩主・松平宗衍（まつだいらむねのぶ）公により始まった。往時は「雲州人蔘」のブランドネームで高級品として海外で取引されるほどとなり松江藩内の複数各所で栽培されていた。現在では由志園が大根島で栽培するのみとなったが松江藩の貴重な産業遺産の伝統を守り続けている。由志園の入り口は松江藩の人蔘方役所の長屋門を復元したもの。人蔘方役所は江戸期に松江藩が設置した高麗人蔘の製造、加工、流通、販売をになう公の施設だった。大根島では牡丹の栽培も大変盛んで、かっては女性たちが牡丹苗を行商し全国に販売していた。牡丹は高麗人参と並ぶ大根島の伝統産業であり現在では年間で約８０万本の牡丹苗が生産され海外輸出も盛んになり品種改良も盛んで500種類以上の多種多様な品種が栽培されている。

由志園の庭園は牡丹園の伝統をベースに、昭和45（1970）に第一期工事を開始し2021年現在では約１万２千坪（4万平米）の池泉廻遊式日本庭園となった。池泉や築山や滝などはもちろん、奥出雲の鬼の舌震、斐伊川、宍道湖、中海の岩礁、霊峰大山など、出雲の風景を模した縮景式庭園でもある。園内は車椅子でも回遊できる。４月下旬から５月上旬にかけては牡丹苗の育成のために摘み取った花で池泉を埋め尽くす「池泉牡丹」、、初夏の花菖蒲や紫陽花、秋の紅葉はもちろん、年間を通じ夜間ライトアップおよびプロジェクションマッピングなど様々な催しを精力的に行ない、園内には食事処なども設け幅広い集客に努めている。

”Yuushien” Matsue city,Shimane pref・「由志園」島根県松江市

Yuushien cultivates and sells ginseng and peonies on Daikon Island in the Nakaumi area of ​​Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. Cultivation of "Korean ginseng" in Shimane was started in the Edo period by Matsudaira Munenobu, the sixth feudal lord of the Matsue domain. At its peak, it was sold overseas as a luxury item under the brand name of "Unshu Ginseng" and was cultivated in multiple places within the Matsue Domain. However, at present, only Yuushien cultivates, processes and sells its products and continues to preserve the tradition of the Matsue domain's precious industrial heritage. The entrance to Yuushien is a restored Nagayamon gate of the Matsue Domain's Ginseng Office. The Ginseng Office was a public facility established by the Matsue Domain during the Edo period to manufacture, process, distribute, and sell ginseng. Peony cultivation is also very popular on Daikon Island, and women used to peddle peony seedlings and sell them nationwide. Peony is a traditional industry on Daikon Island along with ginseng. Currently, about 800,000 peony seedlings are produced annually, exports to overseas are increasing, breeding is active, and more than 500 varieties are currently cultivated.

Based on the tradition of peony garden, the garden of Yuushien started the first phase construction in 1970, and as of 2021, it has become a Chisenkai yushiki style Japanese garden of about 12,000 tsubo (40,000 square meters). It is also a Shukkeishiki style landscape (reduced-scale landscape) that imitates the landscape of Izumo, such as ponds, artificial hills and waterfalls, as well as Okuizumo's demon tongue quake, Hii ​​River, Lake Shinji, Nakaumi rock reefs, and Mt. Daisen. You can walk around the park with a wheelchair. From late April to early May, "Chisen Botan" fills the pond with flowers picked to grow peony seedlings, early summer irises and hydrangeas, autumn leaves, as well as night illumination and projection mapping throughout the year. We are energetically holding various events and trying to attract a wide range of customers by setting up a high-class Japanese restaurant in the garden that can only be used by reserved guests.
