Drooping Cherryblossom in Ikoji temple


Sesshu Toyo, the founder of ink-painting in Japan, designed this garden about 450 years ago.

He was also the main priest of Ikoji temple (Rinzai sect), he tried to discribe the Buddhist pure land in this zen garden. You can practice Zen at this temple.

I took this video in the late March, 2008.
