Entsu-ji is a serene and historically rich Zen Buddhist temple located in Kyoto, Japan. Originally established in the early Edo period, the temple is renowned for its beautiful dry landscape garden, which offers a stunning view of Mount Hiei in the background. The garden's design exemplifies the principles of shakkei, or "borrowed scenery," integrating the distant mountain into the composition of the garden itself.
