Ryoanji Temple - The Beauty of Dry Landscapes

#Sign up for tripbest July Hotel Tester The karesansui, meaning "dry landscape", expressed by Ryoanji Temple is a traditional Japanese garden design that does not use water and symbolizes natural landscapes through stones, sand and plants. The garden of Ryoanji Temple is considered to be a model of this art form and consists of fifteen stones that are carefully placed in white gravel. There is no fixed explanation for the arrangement of these stones, but it is generally believed that they represent the "Tiger Crossing Picture", a scene where a tiger and its cubs cross a river. The design of the garden is extremely simple, but it can make me feel the profound artistic conception and trigger endless reverie. The core of this garden design is to express the depth of nature and the universe through minimalist elements. The garden of Ryoanji Temple has no gorgeous decorations, but it can make people feel a deep tranquility and harmony. Every stone and every grain of sand here has been carefully designed to achieve the best visual and spiritual effect.
