I saw this calligraphy inside Kuri, the main building, of the Ryoanji Temple (龍安寺 or 竜安寺, Ryōanji), Kyoto, Japan. I asked for help for the translation and my dear friend Carol aka 奇芍 told me that these are all Chinese characters.
She wrote: "In Japanese, there are some adopted Chinese characters in it so that I can read them, nonetheless, with the fancy style, not too easy to read; all I can say is that they're related to ZEN teaching. I'm positive about it."
I got also further information from her about these adopted Chinese characters:
"''Prior to the 3rd century, Japanese had no writing system. China, on the other hand, already had a civilization advanced past its time, with a well-established writing system of characters, called Hanzi. The Japanese decided to borrow Chinese characters as a way to give their language a written form. The problem was, Chinese and Japanese are very different languages. Chinese, for example, does not have tense or conjugation. Japanese, on the other hand, has myriad conjugations of its verbs that can express different tenses, moods, and level of formality. To add insult to injury, Chinese phonetics are more complex than Japanese phonetics. Worse yet, Chinese is a monosyllabic writing system; each character (or word) contains one syllable. Japanese words can be multiple syllables.
However, the "Hanzi" mentioned above means the traditional Chinese, not the simplified Chinese used in Mainland China now.""
The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as an UNESCO World Heritage.

In the area of Alassa, at Kuris Dam, in Limassol, is located the Church of Saint Nicholas, built in 1936.
This Church appears only when the water level was lowered and for this reason, they called it an “Immersed Church”.
This Church is a specimen that, before 3 decades, there was a village, the Alassa, which was full of life.
The whole village and the “hidden” Church, is an archaeological treasure that inspired the interest of archaeologists in America, Australia and the Louvre.
The Church, of which only the bell tower was kept, reminded that once there was life in the village.
The Current location of Alassa is 12 km away from Limassol, on the road to Platers and transferred to it in 1985, when the village of Alissa sank in 1989, at Lake Kooris, which was created by Kooris Dam, one of the largest dams in Cyprus.
Today, the Alassa's village, has about 232 residents Historical references show the existence of the village from the 17 th century until the desolation in 1881 AD where the small community of 23 residents.

Red kuri squash (commonly called "Japanese squash" or "orange Hokkaido squash") is a thin skinned orange colored winter squash, a cultivated variety of the species Cucurbita maxima. It looks like a small pumpkin without the ridges.
Other varieties of this subspecies include 'Hokkaido', 'Red Hokkaido' and 'Sweet Meat' squashes.
Kuri is a Hello Kitty pullip, so whenever she saw a Hello Kitty merchandise, she's excited. Hello Kitty with a fishy head, she thinks it's so cute & funny at the same time.
Thank you, Akane, for this cute handphone charm n___n

A legendary warrior within the ranks of the Ugokanai, Kiru was one of the original recruits of the Supreme Rida himself. Outfitted in high-tech armor with a traditional flair, he is a force to be reckoned with.

This rusty structure is one of the few remaining structures from the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition 1925-26.
=====
The New Zealand and South Seas International Exhibition was held in Dunedin Nov.1925-May 1926.
It celebrated NZ and the South Seas, and was the third such exhibition to be held in Dunedin (earlier exhibitions in 1865 and 1889).
Although NZ's population was then only 1.25 million, more than 3 million visitors came through the gates of the Exhibition.
The buildings consisted of a series of pavilions surrounding a central court area, dominated by a domed festival hall, and covering 16 acres.
The exhibition grounds and buildings included an amusement park with a quarter-mile scenic railway loop, restaurant, tearooms, displays from both NZ provinces and overseas countries, and "courts" set up by the UK, Canada, Australia, and Fiji.
Some sections of some of the exhibition's buildings were later sold off and moved to other sites, most notably a small domed structure (see attached pic below), now part of the South Seas Art Gallery at Brighton, south of Dunedin.
Further south, on a farm property at Kuri Bush, can be found this: the collapsing remains of one of the exhibition pavilions...

Many thanx to the lovely lady on Dicksons Rd., Kuri Bush, who allowed me to photograph this close-up from over her back fence.

UPDATE: This old structure collapsed in high winds, late 2015, as reported in the Otago Daily Times: [www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/winds-bring-down-historic-buil...]
