The two small Zen gardens in this subtemple of Daitoku-ji are elegant examples of 17th-century kare-sansui (dry landscape) style. Here the trees, rocks and sand are said to represent and express various spectacles of nature, from waterfalls and valleys to mountain lakes. It’s one of the more popular subtemples here.
