ABSTRACT
As an example, Figure 37.12 shows the case of Shokin-tei's visibility of the Miyuki-Iane from the Miyuki-gate to Shoin, main house, in Katsura. In this figure, the direction where the element can be seen is shown by the relative angles from the direction of movement (top), and its distance (bottom). The distance 0 m in the bottom figure indicates that the element cannot be seen. In this example, one can peep at Shokin-tei 90 degrees to the left through the Maple Path for several steps after the 155 step-point. Upon reaching the soil covered arched bridge, one can see it again over the hedge from the raised viewpoint. As one follows the garden path which turns to the left, it now appears again in the front. The visual line to the Shokin-tei then moves to the left when one makes a turn to enter the Chumon gate.
