JAPAN: zen gardens

We'll be studying three gardens over two days.

First, we'll look at the Daisen-in Garden at Daitoku-ji temple in Kyoto.
Then, we'll look at the famous garden at Ryoan-ji.

We will also take some time with the garden mentioned in our book, Saiho-ji, but I'd prefer you do journal entries on the other gardens.

There's one excellent website that lets us study the Japanese garden in general, and all of these gardens in specific: The Japanese Garden, created by Clifton Olds, Emeritus Professor of Art History at Bowdoin College. Everything you need can be found by looking around in this website, which is both informative and well-designed! Enjoy.
