Inside the main building of the Ryoanji Temple (龍安寺 or 竜安寺, Ryōanji, Kyoto, Japan), you find with a "little Rock Garden", (karesansui, (枯山水 or dry landscape) for educational purpose. At that time an explanation was given to a group of schoolchildren, unfortunately only in Japanse.
An interesting feature of the garden's design is that from any vantage point at least one of the rocks is always hidden from the viewer, except viewed from above alike here. Then you can see all the 15 stones ;-)).
Look at me
for a while
then
tell me
what you see…..
Like looking at clouds…………. I'm curious what you see ;-))
Will be back in a few days, have a little mini-origami-convention. Have a great time too ;-))

Nearby the Kinkaku-ji (The Golden Pavilion, Kyoto) is the Ryoanji Temple (龍安寺 or 竜安寺, Ryōanji) .
The temple's name is synonymous with the temple's famous Zen garden, the karesansui, 枯山水, (dry landscape), Rock Garden.
The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as an UNESCO World Heritage.
""This simple and remarkable garden measures only 25 meters from east to west and 10 meters from south to north.
The rectangle Zen Garden is completely different from the gorgeous gardens of court nobles constructed in the Middle Ages. No trees are to be seen; only 15 rocks and white gravel are used in the garden.
The walls are made of clay boiled in oil. As time went by, the peculiar design was made of itself by the oil that seeped out.
This international famous rock garden is said to be created at the end of Muromachi Period (around 1500), by a highly respected Zen monk, Tokuho Zenketsu.""

""Meaning of the garden.
Like any work of art, the artistic garden of Ryōan-ji is also open to interpretation, or scientific research into possible meanings. Many different theories have been put forward inside and outside Japan about what the garden is supposed to represent, from islands in a stream, to swimming baby tigers to the peaks of mountains rising above to theories about secrets of geometry or of the rules of equilibrium of odd numbers.
Garden historian Gunter Nitschke wrote: "The garden at Ryōan-ji does not symbolize anything, or more precisely, to avoid any misunderstanding, the garden of Ryōan-ji does not symbolize, nor does it have the value of reproducing a natural beauty that one can find in the real or mythical world. I consider it to be an abstract composition of 'natural' objects in space, a composition whose function is to incite meditation.""

Peace in dry country
stone, water, and memory
rest in quiet green
Yes, that was my attempt at haiku. This is a blast from the past of the Cowra Japanese Garden.
I’m doing yet another round of culling my photography archives — the third deep dive in as many years (clearly a slow process). I first posted a version of this shot back when I’d just picked up a camera and joined Flickr. Also when I was overenthusiastically experimenting with that classic fake HDR look. This is a refreshed take with a lighter hand on the sliders, still a combination of 3 bracketed exposures.
The gardens are located in the town of Cowra in the Central West region of NSW, Australia. The gardens were created to honour the historical and ongoing relationship between the people of Cowra and Japan — and the story behind it is surprisingly moving.
In 1960, the Japanese government decided to bring the remains of their war dead from around Australia to be reburied in Cowra, which already housed a cemetery for 231 Japanese soldiers killed during the 1944 Cowra breakout - a dramatic and tragic chapter involving a nearby prisoner-of-war camp. After the war, the Cowra RSL took on the respectful maintenance of the cemetery, which was formally ceded to Japan in 1963. In 1971, Cowra Tourism proposed the idea of a Japanese garden to acknowledge this connection, and Japan agreed to support it, as a gesture of appreciation for the town’s care of their fallen soldiers. It’s a nice outcome I think, for something rooted in war - a story worth reading if you’re into history.
The gardens themselves are a little pocket of Japan tucked into the dry, sunburnt hills of inland NSW. Think: manicured hedges, waterfalls, rocky slopes, peaceful lakes, and the occasional waterbird. There’s also a traditional Edo cottage, an open-air tea house (& you can get Japanese sweets), and a bonsai house (I've always loved Bonsai, don't have the patience to grow one though).
Hard to believe this peaceful garden is in regional NSW - we’re hoping to explore the real thing in Japan next year.
Have a great week out there. Thanks for any comments and likes, they are all appreciated!
Meaning of stone
From the stones of the dry landscape garden, you can imagine the harshness and strength of nature and the story associated with the story.
Sand pattern
The sand crests are not only gentle streams, but also large waves, swells, checkered patterns and "well" patterns, as well as swirls that represent enlightenment, psychology, world view and cosmic view.
Karesansui is a garden where you can enjoy the view quietly without taking a walk. While slowly gazing at the contrast between the white of the stone and the green of the plant, the expression of the sand, and the numerous stones, you will spend your time asking yourself the meaning of the space.
Most of the dry landscape gardens made of white sand can be enjoyed from inside the building.
Nearby the Kinkaku-ji (The Golden Pavilion) is the Ryoanji Temple (龍安寺 or 竜安寺, Temple of the peaceful Dragon, Ryōanji), Kyoto, Japan.
The temple's name is synonymous with the temple's famous Zen garden, the karesansui (枯山水 or dry landscape), Rock Garden.
The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as an UNESCO World Heritage.
Perhaps you see it was still raining…;-))

The Japanese rock garden (枯山水 karesansui) or "dry landscape" garden, often called a zen garden, creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, water features, moss, pruned trees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand that is raked to represent ripples in water.[1] A zen garden is usually relatively small, surrounded by a wall, and is usually meant to be seen while seated from a single viewpoint outside the garden, such as the porch of the hojo, the residence of the chief monk of the temple or monastery. Classical zen gardens were created at temples of Zen Buddhism in Kyoto during the Muromachi period. They were intended to imitate the essence of nature, not its actual appearance, and to serve as an aid to meditation about the true meaning of existence.[
Taken at the Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto Japan. This temple is well known for a Zen rock garden.

Ryoanji Temple (龍安寺, Ryōanji) is the site of Japan's most famous rock garden, which attracts hundreds of visitors every day. Originally an aristocrat's villa during the Heian Period, the site was converted into a Zen temple in 1450.
As for the history of Ryoanji's famous rock garden, the facts are less certain. The garden's date of construction is unknown and there are a number of speculations regarding its designer. The garden consists of a rectangular plot of pebbles surrounded by low earthen walls, with 15 rocks laid out in small groups on patches of moss. An interesting feature of the garden's design is that from any vantage point at least one of the rocks is always hidden from the viewer.

there at the edge of a farmer's field lives this big fat happy rock
surrounded by fields of corn and grain
it basks in the sun and bathes in the rain.
and if you ask, it will allow you to sit on it and share the zen

Hard to not feel the tranquility and peacefulness when standing at this lovely zen garden located in the impressive Japanese Garden at Butchart Gardens. Was wonderful to spend quiet time here simply being in the moment, pondering life.
"The Japanese term for a Zen garden that uses only rocks and gravel is "karesansui," which means "dry landscape." The gardener places rocks in a bed of gravel in strategic locations to symbolize islands and mountains, and rakes the gravel to suggest flowing water. They were intended to imitate the intimate essence of nature, and be an evocative work of art that draws the viewer into a state of contemplation." Wiki
May you have a very peaceful and relaxing day!

Another view of the "dry" Zen garden at Victoria's Butchart Garden.
"At its heart, Karesansui is more than a garden—it is a manifestation of Zen philosophy. The act of raking gravel into patterns is itself a form of meditation, known as **Samu**, or mindful labor. Zen practitioners believe that by focusing intently on this simple, repetitive action, they can clear their minds of distractions and connect with the present moment.
The arrangement of stones in a Karesansui garden also reflects the Zen belief in the importance of contemplation and inner reflection. The stones are often placed in such a way that not all can be seen from a single vantage point, symbolizing the idea that some aspects of reality are hidden from view and can only be understood through deeper reflection.
In addition, the voids and spaces in the garden—the "empty" areas—are just as important as the stones and gravel themselves. This highlights the Zen concept of **mu** (無), or emptiness, which teaches that emptiness is not a void but a space full of potential. The garden, therefore, becomes a metaphor for the mind: only when it is empty of distractions and preoccupations can it be open to new possibilities and insights." shimizuart.org

It is serenely surround by woods and has been designated as one of the three scenic historical gardens in Kyoto.As the left rear ,there is a group of rocks which from a natural waterfall,and then a dragon-shaped upper pond with island. The lower pond also has an island.
This garden should be appreciated with an island. In1393,the original building was lost by fire and its replacement,also an Imperial donation,,was destroyed in the battle of Onin-no-ran ( Onin War) The existing temple, totally made of Japanese cypress ,gabled and single roofed,was restored by the mother of Shogun Tsunayoshi in 1703. In the altar of temple in a wooden statue of Emperor Kameyama (and Important Cultural Awwet).Painting on sliding doors ( black ink brush paintings) are the work of the Kano school. A portion of Emperor Kameyama's ashes has been buried in the small mausoleum in a corner of the garden. - Nanzenin
This temple has an explicit no-tripod policy, so tripods, including monopods, are usually prohibited here.

Its natural elegance inspires art, literature, and religious iconography worldwide. I captured this beauty at Penang Botanical Gardens, a lush tropical retreat in George Town, Malaysia.
