Dry landscape, also known as Zen garden, is a Japanese garden design that emphasizes simplicity and minimalism. It typically features raked gravel or sand, rock formations, and often has no water elements. The design of a dry landscape villa aims to create a serene and meditative space, reflecting the principles of Zen Buddhism. Some notable examples include the Ryoan-ji rock garden in Kyoto and the rock garden at the Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion).
