Nanzen-ji is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. A large complex, it has varied over time between nine and twelve sub temples.
Hojo is one of some temples in Nanzen-ji and is notable for its garden. The garden of the Hojo is considered one of the most significant examples of Karesansui Gardens, and was built in the 1600s by Kobori Enshu. The garden mirrors natural forms, and is seventy percent gravel. It has been designed to be a national place of scenic beauty. The Hojo has a variety of important screen painting on gold backgrounds but we are not allowed to take photos. It was a pity that we are not allowed to take photos.
