[Okayama] Shinshoji Temple Zen & Garden Museum Admission Ticket

"Shinshoji Zen and Garden Museum" is a place to experience Zen through various activities such as sipping a bowl of tea, contemplating ink paintings, savoring food that sustains life, cleansing body and mind, and strolling through the garden. Within the vast grounds, you will find the 17th-century hall moved from Shiga Prefecture, the restored tea room of Sen no Rikyu, and the temple office designed by architect and architectural historian Terunobu Fujimori, which makes extensive use of pine trees, plants symbolizing the Sanyo Road and the Setouchi region. Gardens are arranged to connect these buildings. One of the highlights of this museum is one of the leading Hakuin collections in Japan, consisting of approximately 200 of Hakuin Zenji's Zen paintings and ink writings. These works are on display throughout the year at the permanent exhibition hall "Shogendo," with exhibits being changed from time to time. Standing in contrast to the Zen art collection is the pavilion "Kohtei," designed by sculptor Kohei N
