Contemplation before the Zen rock garden
In *March comes in like a lion* episode 19, the protagonist Rei walks along a quiet street lined with traditional wooden buildings. Ahead, a two-story pavilion comes into view, its front garden covered in white gravel shaped into cones and ripples — a classic Zen rock garden. He stops, gazing at the sand and stones, lost in thoughts about life and shogi.
