Ritsurin Garden (栗林公園) is a large, historic garden in Takamatsu, completed in 1745 as a private strolling garden and villa for local feudal lords, and opened to the public in 1875.  Ritsurin is one of the largest strolling gardens in Japan and a major tourist attraction for Kagawa Prefecture.  This larger card was mailed in 1974, with stamp, full postmark, and red air mail chop.  A bit of postal bumping in transit.  Grade: 2
