Dry landscape, also known as 'Kare-sansui' in Japanese, is a form of Japanese Zen rock garden. It typically features carefully arranged rocks, sand, and sometimes gravel to represent natural landscapes like mountains, rivers, and lakes. Indoor micro-landscaping is a scaled-down version of this art form, created within a small enclosed space. It is used for meditation, decoration, and as a way to bring the natural beauty of a landscape into a home or office setting.
