It is currently counted as one of the Seven Enshu Kilns.
The garden was named after the famous "Kagero Pond," a pond depicted in the "Illustrated Map of Famous Places along the Tokaido Road" by Japanese painter Yamamoto Shunkyo.
At the time, Kobori Enshu was the magistrate of Omi, so it is likely that Enshu provided guidance.
The famous tea caddies favored by Enshu are "Oeyama" and "Hakuun."
