"Next to Kyoto Botanical Gardens is this modern space designed by celebrated architect Tadao Ando, who kept much of the structure below ground level so as not to interrupt the view from the gardens to the Higashiyama mountains. It’s designed for walking around, with slopes and stairs running across different levels. Eight facsimiles of well-known paintings adorn the space, including Monet’s “Water Lilies”, which is reproduced on porcelain and immersed in a shallow pond."
