| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Saiho-ji Temple is located in Kyoto, Japan. The temple area is covered by more than 120 types of moss, resembling a beautiful green carpet - thus its other name, Kokedera Temple, which literally means "Moss Temple." The garden, designated as a special place of scenic beauty, consists of a lower landscape garden surrounding a pond shaped like the Chinese character kokoro (heart), and an upper dry landscape-style rock garden.--Welcome to Kyoto website. Note: According to the Welcome to Kyoto website, Saiho-ji Temple is an ancient temple said to have been established by the monk Gyoki during the Nara Period. In 1339, it was restored and converted into a Zen temple by the monk Muso Soseki. |
