Japan - Kyoto - Martin in Zen rock garden in Nanzenji

Zen garden in Nanzenji is known as the "Leaping Tiger Garden." It is an excellent example of the karesansui style (seen more famously at Ryoanji), the rock-and-gravel garden was created by Kobori Enshu. It has the unusual feature of having its large rocks grouped with clipped azaleas, maples, pines, and moss, all positioned against a plain white wall behind the raked gravel.
