The actual name is "karesansui" meaning dry landscape. It is not technically called a Zen Garden but is often referred to as that. They are called Japanese Rock Gardens.

The picture depicts a karesansui garden, or "Japanese rock garden". To depict the whole philosophy, religious thought and concept known as "zen" with a picture of a karesansui is ridiculous. The creator should've at least written a clue like with the other pictures.

Probably not since that particular pavilion was built over 200 years after the name change to Kyoto. (1185 and about 1397)

You should accept Rock Garden for Zen. That is the correct term. They are often called Zen Gardens but for the simplistic form, they ARE called Rock Gardens.

This is not a kimono, this is a traditional korean dress. They are very different things, it is worth a correction.

I've lived in Japan for years and I have never heard about the monkeys in Nagano being called "macaques" (which to my understanding, just comes from a word for monkey in Portuguese/French), and I definitely never heard of the rock gardens being referenced to as Zen gardens.
