Tenryū-ji, located in the Arashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan, is one of the city's most significant Zen temples. It was established in 1339 by the shogun Ashikaga Takauji in memory of Emperor Go-Daigo. The temple is renowned for its beautiful landscape garden, which was designed by the famous garden designer Musō Soseki and has remained largely unchanged since its creation. The garden features a central pond surrounded by rocks, trees, and the picturesque Kameyama mountains in the background, creating a stunning example of shakkei, or "borrowed scenery.
