Continuing the tour in this old school I realized that the grass is truly greener: The garden of the Kodokan
Some pictures of the garden and a courtyard. 
One thing that always struck the mind was the nature in which temples, shrines, schools and so on and so forth, was restrained and taken to the highest representation of what it is: spontaneous revelation of grandeur of life. In fact, while important in almost all schools in the Eastern philosophical relationship with the impermanent and the illusion of reality, very often even the great masters had pleasure in his eyes linger on a beautiful garden.
In Japanese gardens, however, is not easy to see the brutal control that a gardener is always forced to use nature as we find ourselves instead to admire in an English garden.
The cut grass is always present, but otherwise the shapes are always dictated by the natural components, and never in the shape of a shear. E 'can then see, walking on the uneven stones of the garden spots where the vegetation appears to the extreme of his improvisation
Other things that could be found in this garden for meditation, walking among the loose stones in the grass, was a small grove of bamboo, as well as represent the resistance to adversity, propagated a unique sound and particularly when the wind was beating each other the thick reeds.
