*''Japanese'': [[向島]] 百花園 ''(mukoujima hyakkaen)''
Mukôjima Hyakkaen, or Mukôjima Hundred Flowers Garden, is a Japanese garden located in the Mukôjima area of [[Tokyo]].
The garden was first established in [[1805]], when Edoite [[Sahara Kikura]] obtained some 3,000 ''[[Japanese Measurements|tsubo]]'' from the former grounds of a [[Taga clan]] mansion. With the help of several other [[literati]], he planted a great number of [[ume|plum trees]], creating a garden which was initially known as '''Shin ume yashiki'' (New Plum Mansion). The gardens quickly came to be a popular site for local people to relax and enjoy themselves.
Shogun [[Tokugawa Ieyoshi]] paid a formal visit to the garden in [[1845]], in order to view the plum blossoms.
