Introduction to a dry landscape garden

Quick answer:

A dry landscape garden, also known as a 'kare-sansui' or 'rock garden' in Japanese, is a traditional Japanese garden that uses stones, sand, and moss to represent natural landscapes. These gardens typically do not include water, relying on the arrangement of rocks and raked sand to evoke the essence of mountains and water. They are often found in Zen Buddhist temples and are valued for their minimalist beauty and meditative qualities.
