Kyoto! (part 4)

Garden's pictures.

A Zen Garden. Very famous in Kyoto. Several years of learning are necessery to know how make correctly one of those.

Many years of experience in this cirlce shape.

The Ryôan-Ji. Length of 23 meters and large of 9, it was imagined by Sôami near 1455. Raked every day, it evokes the waves surrounding 15 islands represented by those stones. Wherever you stand, it's only possible to see 14 stones in the same time. For some people, this is a metaphor which means that we can never see the entire truth...


Another garden perfectly raked.

... I think I love Japanese garden...


A gardener who must be very happy to cut this bush in perfect round shape...
