The Jo Ryo En Japanese Garden is a Japanese garden located on the campus of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, USA. Commonly translated as the "garden of quiet listening," the garden is a small (1/4 acre) setting located behind Watson Hall on the Carleton College campus. The garden was conceived and built between 1974 and 1976, under the design guidance of David Slawson. Instigation for the design and construction for the garden came from Bardwell Smith, the John W. Nason Professor Emeritus of Asian Studies at Carlton College. The garden is in the style of a ''karesansui'' or dry landscape garden, and contains several features: * stone lanterns * a bamboo drip and basin * paved stone path (''nobedan'') * viewing pavilion * rock simulating a stream of dark, flat stones emptying into a lake of white gravel * rocks, low shrubs, and trees to simulate hills and mountains Entrance to the garden is free. In 2000, the garden was named one of the 10 highest-quality gardens outside of Japan by the ''Journal of Japanese Gardening.''〔(Carleton College press release ), dated 18 May 2000, retrieved 10 August 2015〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jo Ryo En Japanese Garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
