Experience the "state of nothingness" in the Water Mirror Garden at the Suzuki Daisetsu Museum

Suzuki Daisetsu, whose name became known in Japan because Steve Jobs respected him! ︎There is a memorial museum for Suzuki in Hondacho, Kanazawa City✨ Suzuki Daisetsu (1870-1966) was a Buddhist philosopher and thinker born in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. He translated Buddhist books into English and spread the ideas of Mahayana Buddhism, especially Zen, all over the world. He has given many lectures overseas and influenced many cultural figures and business people. The Suzuki Daisetsu Memorial Museum was designed by Yoshio Taniguchi of Taniguchi Architects, which has many architecture fans all over the country. It is a modernist building made of concrete with beautiful straight lines, and unnecessary decoration is eliminated as much as possible. Facing the external corridor and contemplation space is a water mirror garden, which is the best photo spot📸✨✨The beautiful building is reflected on the water surface like a waveless water mirror. Depending on the angle and field of view, you can take photos that contrast not only the buildings but also the trees and blue sky. ♬ And occasionally, waves appear on the water surface. 🫧 The ripples periodically spread out from the center, and you will forget the passage of time as you stare at them. It will reopen in March 2024. ✨ When you enter the museum, you will receive a file at the entrance that contains Suzuki Daisetsu's profile and other information! In several places in the museum, there are leaflets with "famous quotes" and their explanations, and the system is to collect them and store them in a file! So far, over 50 quotes have been published in leaflets, but there are no plans to publish them in a book, so please visit and collect them for yourself♬ [D.T.
