Biwako canal was established in 1890 in order to derive waters to Kyoto basin for water power, transportation by ships, irrigation system and fire protection. Nanzen-ji area was developed in 1910's by Mr. Yosaji Tsukamoto for the villa residence by enterprisers. Each garden was made by a gardener, 7th Jihei Ogawa who was named "Ueji". These gardens introduced water from Biwako canal. This paper shows the transfer of the rights of utilization on water of Biwako canal depended on the archives of resisters with water power by Kyoto City Bureau on Biwako canal. By the transfer and separation of water power, the new gardens were made in the same route of water system. And more, irrigation systems in the Kyoto basin was improved by the introduction on the Biwako canal.
