Tenryuji Sogenchi Pond Garden
tenryuji-13.jpg
Sogenchi Pond Garden - Tenryuji has been ranked first among Kyoto's "Five Great Zen Temples". Muso Soseki, the temple's founding abbot and famous garden designer, created Tenryuji's landscape garden which, unlike the temple buildings, survived the many fires and is considered one of the oldest of its kind. This is a "borrowed landscape" garden, taking in the background scenery of the hills of Arashiyama as part of the garden's composition. Sogenchi pond and Ishigumi rock clusters in the garden are this pond garden's main ingredients and what makes it so special.
