Kōshin-an
is a retreat including a Japanese garden and a house in Matsuyama, Ehime. This was once a villa or a humble cottage of Kurita Chodō, a haiku poet of the Edo period. Today, part of the house was restored to preserve its original form as one of the special historic sites in Ehime, and NPO corporation GCM Kōshin-an Club are involved in voluntary activities to promote it.
== History ==
The villa was built in 1800,〔Imamura Takeshi, Matsui Shinobu. GCM Kōshin-an Club, ed. ''Kyo arite: Kurita Chodo to sono Sakuhin'' (Today, to be: Kurita Chodo, his life and works). Matsuyama: Ehime Cultural library publisher, 2008. 164-165.〕 in the style of Matsuo Bashō’s Genju-an, by Kurita Chodō to spend the rest of his life peacefully and deepen exchange with haiku poets in Matsuyama. Chodō enjoyed haiku gatherings, tea ceremony and simply viewing the garden. Then he wrote about his reclusive life in this cottage in his journal '' Kōshin-an ki'' (庚申庵記). According to the journal, Chodō named his cottage “Kōshin-an” for the year of its construction, Kōshin.〔Matsui Shinobu. GCM koshin-an Club, ed. ''Kōshin-an eno Izanai'' (Introduction to Kōshin-an). Matsuyama: Atlas, 2003. ISBN 4-901108-30-1, 70-75.〕
After the original owner’s death, the house had been used to entertain guests by local people over many years. To match the needs of each owner, extensions and reconstructions are repeated. From then on, in about 200 years, the house had been abandoned and affected by natural disasters. However, local residents might struggle to preserve the place and refurbished it. The house still has original shape and atmosphere. Although the surrounding area was destroyed during World War II, the cottage including the garden miraculously remained.〔Matsui, 2003. 74-75〕 Be endangered for some years, a report by a student from Shinonome University triggered preserving and restoring the humble cottage as a historical valuable place, and in 2000, Matsuyama City decided to reserve and reconstruct as a publicly owned land. After the investigation and restoration with removal of extended section, Kōshin-an was restored much as it was in Edo era. In 2003, the house and its garden was opened as a historic garden.〔Matsui, 2003. 80-82〕
