thumb|図南亭から望む東庭 Funda-in (芬陀院) is a subtemple of Tofukuji, a Rinzai Buddhist temple in Kyoto. It is also called Sesshu-ji (雪舟寺) due to its garden having been created by Sesshū Tōyō.
During the Genkō era, Ichijō Uchitsune, the chief adviser to the Emperor, established Fundain. Since then it has been run solely by the Ichijō family.
It is said that Sesshu, who is known as a master painter, created the rock garden, though it was destroyed by fires during the Genroku and Houreki period, but was restored by Mirei Shigemori in 1937.
