The famous garden of Daisen-in, also in the same neighbourhood in the suburb of Kyoto, designed by So-ami, is another example in the case, though it is constructed with many appropriately shaped rocks to suggest a waterfall, hills, streams, a pond with a boat, etc. Not a drop of water is used and the narrow strip of ground in shape of the carpenter's square along the veranda is now covered with beautiful thick moss. There are many other examples of rock-gardens, but let us proceed to consider another type.
[Daisen-in is a subtemple in the compound of Daitoku-ji. It was built between 1509 and 1513. Although the subtemple is founded by a Zen priest, Kogaku (1464-1584), the screen paintings (Fusuma) inside the temple and the garden are attributed to Soami, an ink landscape painter. Wikipedia 2007]
