History
Daiikikeji in Koka's Minakuchi purifies the heart through the clarity of water. The pond mirrors both sky and soul, reflecting our true nature when we gaze upon it. By observing the ever-changing waters and their reflections, one learns to see oneself clearly. The garden's beauty guides visitors toward spiritual cultivation. Each season brings new lessons as the landscape transforms. The goshuin carries the blessing of self-reflection and meditative peace.
