Schuber Gardens

Schuber Gardens

In the early 1900s, Otto Schuber developed a successful ink business alongside his partner Ryu Siho. The German built his grand estate on the northeast of Summer Island. Its accompanying Gardens were one of the first European-style gardens in Komorebi. The estate eventually burned down in 1936, and the remaining Schubers decided it was time to go back to Germany. The Gardens were passed into the hands of the Ryus, who donated it to the public. Today, Schuber Gardens is all that remains of the once-great Schuber Estate.
