Ryoan-ji
It is a wallpaper photograph of the autumnal leaves of Kyoto Ryoan-ji.
Ryoan-ji is famous for the head priest's residence dry landscape garden of a tiger cub crossing the ocean,
in addition a temple in it.
In the Zen temple showing the heart of Wabi-Sabi, an official name is called "Daiunzan - Ryoan-ji",
and it belongs to the Myoshinji Sect of the Rinzaishu.

Ryoan-ji makes a Zen temple the mountain villa which Hosokawa Katumoto
inherited from the virtue Odera family in 1450, and is supposed that priest-of-high-virtue
Giten-Gensyo of zen was made into the first chief priest. It is a comparatively snug garden with 25m
[ in width ], and a depth of 10m, and the Hojyo garden of a country specially specified as the scenic
spot is a very simple garden only with the white sand and only 15 stones which drew the pattern finely
so that it may drive imagination of people.
Many tourists sit down on the rock garden in here Ryoan-ji,
and make each thought for a fancy. Being referred to as Toranokowatasi is making Toranokowatasi
which has arrangement of the stone which seems to liken the pattern of white sand with an open sea
or a big river completely, and to appear there in a Chinese tradition imagine,Probably, it is the
fancy which came out from the place in which a tiger seems to cross the big river just like a tradition.
The rock garden of Toranokowatasi famous as a rock garden in Ryoan-ji is also called the dry landscape garden again.
What claimed that a dry landscape garden is peculiar to Zen Buddhism,
and the yard on the south was pure once in order to hold a ceremony,
and had covered with white sand,Probably, white sand was [ that the dry landscape technique expressed
by the pattern of white sand or arrangement of a stone so that water may flow into the garden which is
no longer used unawares and does not have water from the mountain has come to be taken in widely, and ]
sometimes tight with the dry landscape image. Moreover, the direction of such a garden very simple for
being calmly absorbed in meditation will be because it is convenient, for plotting various fancies,
in order that the Zen Buddhism itself may practice meditation in Zen Buddhism and it may
characteristically realize spiritual enlightenment.
By the way, if only a rock garden calls Ryoan-ji being, it will not have flown, either.
although it is Ryoan-ji with a very simple impression -- things -- if it says only within
the time of autumnal leaves, it will be filled to brightness. Ryoan-ji of the time of autumnal leaves --
it should observe -- the way of the stroll garden which spreads the green of moss and the autumnal
leaves of maple in the Hojyo west side instead of a Hojyo garden, and centering on a Kyoyo-pond.
It is very beautiful, if many maple which praised skillful autumnal leaves is planted around the
Kyoyo-pond and it unites with the blue of the autumnal leaves reflected in the water surface, or empty.
That is the garden surrounded by glaringly vivid autumnal leaves and yellow leaves, so that the image of
Ryoan-ji changes completely anyhow.
Ryoan-ji of the time of autumnal leaves when indifferent [, such as Wabi-Sabi, ] and such the gay world
spread is a must. it is imagination that Ryoan-ji of autumnal leaves is beautiful so far -- although
it was alike and not being carried out, I think that it can carry out skilled [ of the wonderful
autumnal leaves on which it is never comparable ] even if it is in Kyoto with much famous place of
autumnal leaves. the aristocrat who regards as the culture of the calm zen represented in a rock garden
around a Kyoyo-pond -- I feel that it caught a glimpse of the end of the traced history on the whole
surface with which the brightness of cultural autumnal leaves is closely united and such whose
Ryoan-ji is different. The price of the best time to see of autumnal leaves of an admission fee is 400 yen
at the the end [ of November ] - end time. It seems that in addition, a stroll garden portion does not
have regulation in particular although the inside of the building of Ryoan-ji is tripod prohibition.
