[4K] 教林坊・近江　KYORIN-BO / OUMI JAPANESE GARDEN 

教林坊は、滋賀県近江八幡市安土町にある天台宗の寺院。
巨石を用いた桃山時代の庭園。
境内の地面は至るところで苔生して古刹然としており、
小堀遠州作と伝わる庭には苔生した庭石、巨石が点在している。
この様を白洲正子は著書『かくれ里』で『石の寺』と題し紹介している。
Said to have been created by Prince Shotoku in the year 605, "Kyorinbo Temple" got its name from being a place of teaching ("kyo") surrounded by forest ("rin").
The gardens that spread across its grounds are said to be the work of Enshu Kobori. The breathtaking Momoyama period (1573 - 1603) garden, with its bold succession of mossy boulders, combines with the thatched Study building (early Edo period (1603 - 1868) and a city designated cultural asset) to create a tucked-away tribute to the Japanese aesthetic of old.
