Quick answer:

Dry landscape scenery, also known as 'kare-sansui' in Japanese, is a traditional Japanese garden style that primarily uses stones, raked sand, and sometimes moss to represent landscapes such as mountains, rivers, and oceans. This style of gardening emphasizes the natural beauty of simplicity and the Zen Buddhist philosophy of mindfulness. It originated during the 15th century and became popular during the Muromachi period.
