00:00:14
This is a Ryoanji, founded in the year 1450.
00:00:41
Ryoanji Temple is located at the foot of Mt. Kinugasa in the northern part of Kyoto City.
00:01:08
It’s stone garden is internationally known.
00:01:17
This is the garden.
00:01:24
It is 25m wide from east to west and 10m from north to south.
00:01:33
This garden is enclosed by an earthen wall
00:01:40
It has a very simple design with only 15 stones of various sizes on a bed of white sand.
00:01:50
The gravel is raked in a pattern,
00:01:57
It is regularly raked by the head priest of Ryoan-ji Temple.
00:02:14
A guidebook published in the late Edo period showcasing famous gardens in Kyoto
00:02:28
The book praised it as the best garden in the northern part of Kyoto,
00:02:35
indicating that it was already highly regarded more than 200 years ago.
00:02:44
In 1994, this stone garden and the entire temple grounds were registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
00:02:53
The garden is highly acclaimed worldwide, and even today, it is visited by many tourists and loved by people from all over the world.
00:03:15
Ryoan-ji Temple, which was founded in 1450, first burnt down around 20 years later during the Onin War (1467-1467), which lasted for more than 10 years.
00:03:25
It burnt down again in 1797, and again in 1929. In total it was burnt down 3 times.
00:03:38
The black marks on this earthen wall are said to be caused by the fires.
00:03:45
The garden side has these black marks, but there are no such marks on the reverse side.
00:04:09
With the loss of literature on Ryoanji, information about this garden has also ceased to exist.
00:04:17
As a result, this garden at Ryoanji temple, is a great mystery.
00:04:24
When was this garden created?
00:04:28
Who made it?
00:04:31
And what were the intentions?
00:04:35
For hundreds of years now, many researchers, have studied this garden at Ryoanji.
00:04:42
Over that long period of time, who built it,
00:04:48
why it was designed the way it was, and Various theories and speculations have emerged.
00:04:56
However, no hard evidence has yet come forward, and everything remains a mystery.
00:05:11
Let me explain one famous discourse here.
00:05:16
These 15 stones are arranged in such a way that when viewed from this building,
00:05:24
One of the stones is not visible from any angle.
00:05:34
The layout of these stones clearly shows the intent of the creator.
00:05:41
In the opinion of many researchers, that this may be related to Eastern philosophy.
00:05:52
The moon waxes and wanes over a period of about 15 days.
00:06:00
And since the 15th day is a full moon,
00:06:05
there is an Eastern belief that the number 15 represents perfection.
00:06:14
Based on this philosophy, the fact that one of the 15 stones is not to be shown may represent imperfection,
00:06:22
Many researchers have made that speculation.
00:06:28
However, this discourse is also speculative, as there is no literature on this fact.
00:06:35
Because there are no clear answers, various speculations regarding the garden at Ryoan-ji have circled for hundreds of years.
00:06:51
If you look closely at the ground in this garden, it appears to be level at first glance,
00:07:00
but it seems to be getting lower toward the southeast corner.
00:07:10
From this angle, the southeast corner is extremely lowered.
00:07:23
In addition, let us look at the earthen walls.
00:07:30
This one is more obvious.
00:07:35
The western earthen wall is clearly higher on the north side,
00:07:43
and the height of the earthen wall decreases as one moves south.
00:07:55
Regarding this design, researchers have speculated that this may have utilized the Western method of perspective.
00:08:07
Perspective is a drawing technique used to bring objects and landscapes drawn on a flat surface closer to the actual sense of sight.
00:08:19
This technique has enabled the creation of paintings with depth.
00:08:30
The creator of this garden was conscious of this technique of perspective,
00:08:37
The height of the ground and the earthen wall may have been designed to be extremely special.
00:08:47
Certainly, when I look out to this garden attentively, I have an acute sense of perspective and I am not quite sure what it is.
00:09:02
It is as if the space is distorted.
00:09:18
However, this too can only be speculation, as no hard evidence has been found as to whether the creator intended to design it that way or not.
00:09:42
This bamboo fence is called a Ryoanji fence.
00:09:49
This bamboo fence is a unique design of Ryoan-ji Temple, made of split and crossed bamboos.
00:09:56
This is also a speculation, but this pattern may represent the scales of dragon, or “ryu” in japanese.
00:10:04
This character for Ryu in Ryoanji represents this imaginary creature.
00:10:12
This Ryu creature is said to have fish scales on its body.
00:10:25
The pattern of this Ryoan-ji fence is thus speculated to resemble the scales of that Ryu creature.
00:10:47
As explained, there are many speculations about Ryoan-ji, but as yet there is no hard evidence to verify any of them.
00:11:01
That is why lots of people still ponder this garden.
00:11:07
Once we know who built the garden, when, and with what intention, we do not need to wonder about it anymore.
00:11:20
But no one knows anything about the garden at Ryoanji in depth.
00:11:27
It is as if it forces us to think.
00:11:39
Perhaps it is precisely because it is shrouded in mystery like this
00:11:48
that it has fascinated so many people for hundreds of years, both in the past and in the present.
00:12:03
I hope one day you will visit this garden, confront it, and think about it.
