This three-day exhibit celebrates the publication of the new book Gardens of Awakening: A Guide to Aesthetics, History, and Spirituality of Kyoto's Zen Landscapes. Selected photographs will be exhibited to share the experience of "meeting" a Zen garden in its fleeting moments. All events take place in the Conference Center at 308 Page Street.
The exhibit opens on Tuesday from 4 - 7 pm.
On Wednesday it is open from 4-7 pm, followed by a special Dharma talk and book signing (in person) with Kaz and Mitsue at 7:30 - 8:30 pm. Kaz and Mitsue will talk about the aesthetics, symbolism, characteristics, and history of Zen Gardens, as well as stories of making the book and what they learned in their fieldwork. The talk will also be livestreamed.
In addition, the Conference Center will be open to visitors on Thursday from 3 - 5 pm.
