At Kodai-ji temple there are several formal gardens designed by Kobori Enshu who was an architect and master Zen gardener as well as a master of calligraphy poetry and tea ceremony. Kodaiji's south garden is a karesansui or dry rock garden featuring a large area of raked gravel that is punctuated by conical gravel formations and surrounded by a border of moss and stone. The raked gravel of a karesansui is meant to evoke the ripple patterns that form in water. photo
