Among the few Zen gardens selected as National Site of Scenic Beauty, the garden of Tofuku-ji, Kyoto, was built 76 years ago by a famous designer, Mirei Shigemori.
Actually, Tofuku-ji features a complex of four Zen gardens, with different, both classic and modern styles. The most classic of them is the Southern garden, photographed here, designed to symbolize the Elysian islands.
