At a Glance
The D. T. Suzuki Museum is a museum in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, about the Buddhist philosopher D. T. Suzuki. Suzuki was born in the city, and the museum, in the Honda-machi district, opened in 2011 and was designed by the architect Yoshio Taniguchi.
An entrance building, an exhibition building and a contemplation space are joined by a corridor, with the Water Mirror Garden beside it. The contemplation space stands in a shallow pool and is modeled on the hojo of a Zen temple, so visitors can sit in meditation while looking at the water and the neighboring Honda-no-Mori park. The exhibition building shows 33 items, including calligraphy and photographs, with little explanation so that visitors form their own thoughts.
