The garden is a dry landscape (karesansui) located on the south side of the hojo building (chief priest’s residence). The top of each mound is cut to the horizontal to emphasize the outline of the mound and the motion of the shape. The rock in the middle of the garden is the leading part of this landscape design and is called “zazen-seki (meditation rock).” Three dimensional scanning, modeling and printing were intensely used through the design phase and the supervision of the site works. |
