The Temple is well-known for its rock garden, surrounded by earthen walls in three directions and faced with the corridor of the Hojo building. In the rectangular space measuring 30 m from east to west and 10 m from north to south, 15 rocks of various sizes are arranged on white sand in five groups, each comprising five, two, three, two, and three rocks. The most popular explanation of this garden is that the rocks represent a mother tiger and her cubs, swimming in the river of the white sand toward a fearful dragon. Ryoanji temple is one of UNESCO world heritages. Also, Visit www.shunkoin.com - TAKA , posted 03/11/05 |
