“枯山水”的由来

Origin of Japanese Man-made Landscape "Kare Sansui"

摘要:

佛教很早即从中国传入日本，至今为止在日本造园界仍广为使用的“枯山水”的手法，就是中国佛教影响的结果。最著名的“枯山水”庭园于16世纪建造在京都龙安寺方丈南庭。对于许多日本人来说，“枯山水”是精神庭园，是可以唤起无尽想象的最精美的庭园。以最少的材料得到最大的效果，这种手法在庭园设计上是非常独特的。

Abstract:

Buddhism was introduced to Japan from China at a very early time. The "dry landscape" technique, which is still widely used in Japanese gardening circles, is the result of the influence of Chinese Buddhism. The most famous "dry landscape" garden was built in the 16th century in the Abbot South Court of Ryoan-ji in Kyoto. For many Japanese, "dry landscape" is a spiritual garden, the most exquisite garden that can evoke endless imagination. It is unique in landscape design to get maximum effect with minimum materials.
