I mentioned before about how Ashland’s Japanese Garden in Lithia Park reminds me of Ryoanji in Kyoto, Japan. I didn’t notice this tsukubai (stone washbasin) in my earlier visits, but I did this past November as I thought I saw a similar one in Ryoanji. After searching through some old photos, I found my picture of the Ryoanji tsukubai and sure enough, this one in Ashland is an exact replica of the 17th century stone in Kyoto.
The characters combine with the square in the middle to spell out 吾唯足知 Ware tada taru wo shiru (I only know contentment).
Great video from yesterday’s snow in Ashland. Best watched at 2X the normal speed in 4k on a big screen IMO.
More than a bit of a resemblence to Kyoto’s Ryoanji…
