1. Introduction of Ryoan-ji Temple
The rock garden of Ryoanji Temple became famous worldwide after the British Queen Elizabeth’s visit in 1975.
There used to be a country house of a powerful clan, it was acquired by a samurai in 1450 and converted into a Zen training temple - it is now a UNESCO site.
This temple's rectangular Zen Garden has 15 rocks placed on white gravels. Some interpretations of the garden might evoke your imagination.
