Museums
Suzuki Dazhuo is a Japanese Buddhist scholar born in Kanazawa, and is famous in the world under the name of D.T.Suzuki. The Suzuki Dazhuo Pavilion built next to his birthplace uses a corridor to connect the "Entrance Building", "Exhibition Building", "Thinking Building". "Space Building" also constitutes "The Courtyard of the Entrance", "The Courtyard of the Water Mirror" and "The Courtyard of the Open Field". I came here not to appreciate anything, but to meet Dazhuo, a place where you can think freely.
