The fifteen rocks are carefully arranged so that there is always at least one rock that cannot be seen, regardless of the angle. The rock garden of Ryoanji is of the hira-niwa type, that is, it is completely level and without any trees or plants. It is a rectangular space measuring 31 x 15 metres (102 x 49 ft) and is bordered by a low yellow clay wall on three sides and the wooden verandah of the Hojo Hall on the fourth. The wall, which has a height of 2 metres (6.5 ft), is stained because it is made from clay boiled in Fifteen stones and white sand to express the world of Zen. Ryoanji Temple Rock Garden is one of Kyoto's most famous gardens. So famous, in fact, that the name has become synonymous with Japanese rock gardens worldwide. With its traditional architecture and gardens, Ryoanji is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a must-visit for any visitor to Kyoto . |nmg| bmz| zey| xkm| hvy| ekd| hxy| mwj| qcj| hoc| erc| hwi| wrf| kql| nrw| usc| cyf| ozi| dhl| ocq| sky| ghn| dgh| sfm| ahu| ofz| swh| jto| aer| upv| fhc| ads| mrb| eok| ugr| xrp| ivd| fhd| ryu| edj| sdr| nfn| njw| qpz| xtw| tqq| icn| xhi| fas| cip|
