Ryoanji

Visitors sit at the veranda of the Hojo of Ryoanji Temple, overlooking the dry landscape garden. The wall surrounding the garden was made of clay boiled in oil that sipped out in time, creating subtle brown and orange tones, and is an important element to the garden. The wall reflects "wabi" and the rock garden "sabi" creating the garden's aesthetic of "wabi-sabi".
