Ryosoku-in is the sub-temple of Kennin-ji Zen temple in Gion, Kyoto. The temple has a beautiful garden on its grounds, where visitors can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons. The temple continues its quest for “wisdom and compassion” through contemporary art that transcends the boundaries between fields, attempts to connect with tradition, and meditation that is not bound by conventional methods.
