This is the most famous of all the Zen gardens. It is claimed to be the highest expression of Zen art and teachings and perhaps the single greatest masterpiece of Japanese culture. It is thought to be built together with this temple in 1540.
The garden consists of 15 rocks of different sizes resting on a plot of white gravel measuring 98 x 32 feet.
When looking at the garden from any angle (except from above) only 14 rocks are visible.
It is not known when or who laid this garden
But this garden will remain today as it was yesterday and tomorrow it will be as it is today
Tried looking from another angle
Still unable to find the 15th rock
In silent contemplation
Where is the 15th rock?
