Karesansui

Wall of offices, windows, the fabulous design of the Japanese architects—and the surrounding gardens of dwarf evergreens, rocks, the karesansui landscape, sand imitating a dried-up stream winding past roots, among simple, irregular flat stones….

Suden commissioned master garden-designer Kobori Enshu to build the karesansui garden south of the hojo.

To some observers a karesansui is just twigs, rocks and grit.
