Rikugi-en (六義園[1]) is a metropolitan park in Bunkyō-ku, Tokyo, Japan. The name Rikugi-en means "garden of six principles", referring to the six elements in waka poetry, based on the traditional division of Chinese poetry into six categories. The gardens consist of a small pond, trees, and a hill.

  1. ^ While the Kanji 六 is read roku in go-on (呉音), in this name it is read riku, in kan-on (漢音).
