The DT Suzuki Museum

Returning to the homestay…

Kazuki: So how was your day?

Marion: Fascinating! I visited five museums, but the D.T. Suzuki Museum was the best.

Kazuki: It's a special place.

Marion: So Zen. The simplicity of the building and the few artifacts it held somehow captured the essence of Suzuki's teachings.

Kazuki: The architecture is modern, yet the atmosphere evokes a sense of tranquility and contemplation.

Marion: I spent the most time in that museum, especially in the book collection. Visitors were quietly leafing through the texts, absorbing the wisdom.

Kazuki: Ah, the books. Suzuki's words are timeless, aren't they? Did you go outside to the gardens?

Marion: I did. People were sitting quietly, contemplating, some even meditating.

Kazuki: That's the design philosophy. To create harmony between the mind and nature.

So spare the structure, so few the artifacts, so deep the impression.
