The Daisen-in was founded in 1509 by the Zen priest Kogaku Sotan (1464-1548) upon his retirement as abbot of Daitoku-ji.
The entire complex is one of the most famous examples of the dry garden style known as karesansui - literally "withered mountains and water" - that can be traced back at least as far as the early Muromachi Period and the gardens associated with Muso Soseki.
