My Kind of Kyoto, a website on Japan's most important historic city.
Goten seen from Shokin-tei. In the center of the photo is Ko-shoin (old
shoin) that was built by Prince Toshihito, the founder of Katsura-Rikyu,
in about 1624. Chu-shoin and Shin-goten are seen behind Ko-shoin. These
two buildings were built by Prince Toshitada, a son of Prince Toshihito,
in 1641 and 1663 respectively.
