The Ōbai-in sub-temple garden at Daitoku-ji in Kyoto — one of the great Zen rock garden complexes of Japan — is rendered here in Hiratsuka's direct woodblock style. The 1963 print captures the garden's controlled landscape of raked gravel, stone, and clipped vegetation with the same structural precision he brought to architectural subjects. Daitoku-ji's numerous sub-temples and their gardens made it a recurring destination for his Kyoto documentation.
