「普賢寺庭園」山口県光市

普賢寺は平安時代の創建で古くより海難守護の寺として信仰を集めてきた。庭は普賢寺本堂の南に面して作られた枯山水庭園で広さ約４５５平方メートルの正方形の地割りの手前を海に見立て、その背景中心に大立石を据え縦横構成的な枯滝石組を設けてそれを庭全体の三角形構図の頂点としている。その枯滝石組左右両側の適材適所に石を配し、特に向かって左にはさながら軍艦のように横長の石が据えられ見事の一言で、それ以外の石は小ぶりで愛らしくそれぞれ個性的で美しいものが配されており見るものを飽きさせない。一説によれば作庭時期は室町後期で、雪舟の手になるものとの伝承がある。庭園は時の流れの中でオリジナルの姿を失っている可能性もあり、専門家による復元がなされてもよいかもしれない。

"Fugenji Garden" Hikari City, Yamaguchi Prefecture

Fugenji Temple was founded in the Heian period and has long been worshiped as a temple that protects people from maritime disasters. The garden is a dry landscape garden created facing the south of the main hall of Fugenji Temple.The front of the approximately 455 square meter plot of land looks like the sea, with a large standing stone in the center of the background and a dry waterfall stone arrangement arranged vertically and horizontally. This is the apex of the triangular composition of the entire garden. The right stones were placed in the right places on both sides of the Karetaki Iwagumi, and on the left side in particular, there was a horizontally long stone that looked like a warship, which was simply stunning, and the other stones were small and lovely, each with their own individuality. Beautiful things are arranged so you won't get bored of what you see. According to one theory, the garden was created in the late Muromachi period, and is said to have been created by Sesshu. Gardens may have lost their original appearance over time, and may be worth professional restoration.
