Since 1140 the Gardens also incorporated tea houses, sake houses, markets, theaters, shrines, geisha houses and any other sort of legitimate enterprise. The luxurious atmosphere made guests more amenable to suggestion, making the Doji Courtiers' job easier. Some elder caretakers felt that it ruined the gardens' serenity and purity to invite such base acts as commerce and entertainment. The gardens had guest-houses for Winter Court, including a massive guest-house for housing the Emperor and his entourage.
