Appreciating the Dry Landscape

Quick answer：

Dry landscape, also known as 'kare-sansui' in Japanese, is a traditional Japanese garden design that emphasizes the natural elements of rocks, sand, and often moss or grass, arranged in such a way to evoke a sense of serene landscapes found in nature. It originated in the 15th century and is a form of Japanese Zen Buddhism art. The appreciation of dry landscapes involves understanding the composition, symbolism, and the artistic principles behind the arrangement of stones and natural elements.
