Tips
This is probably Japan's most famous "Hiraniwa" (flat garden without hills or ponds) and shows the breathtaking simplicity and harmony of Zen meditation.
No one knows exactly when the rock garden was created, who designed it or what its intentions were.
Man should take some time to let the garden work on you. It is a very special place of rest and strength.translated by
