The garden was designed for Zen contemplation and meditating on the garden from the building behind, without being able to see the whole space. Contemplation is now very difficult as there are hundreds of people jostling for space and taking photos, as I was.

The kare-sansui rock garden in Ryoanji, Kyoto.

The rock garden measures 25m by 10m. Only 15 rocks and white gravel are used to create the garden. The walls are made of clay boiled in oil. As time went by, the unusual design was made by oil seeping out. The garden was, it is said, created at the end of the Muromachi period (c 1500) by a highly respected Zen monk, Tokuho Zenketsu.
