There is also a tea ceremony room (Kyuko-an).
The language of flowers is "moderation" and "principled".
Native to China, it produces high-quality bamboo shoots.
In Japan, it is the tallest bamboo, with some species reaching 25 meters, and there is a record of one growing 119 cm in a day.
It is said to flower in about 70 years.
The stems are used to make bamboo crafts such as brush holders and trays.
The Japanese name is said to come from a Chinese legend about a filial son named Moso who dug up bamboo shoots for his mother in winter.
You can "drink tea" surrounded by bamboo.
A bamboo forest grew there, and a new tea shop was built.
This is why the place was named Kyukoan.
This is the grave of the Ashikaga clan.
It is a cave-type grave carved into the rock face and is called a "yagura."
A Zen meditation session is held "every Sunday."
(It takes place in the Kasho-do Hall at AM7:30.)
Anyone can participate.
