Japanese Zen garden landscape works refer to the artistic expression of Zen gardens in Japan, characterized by their minimalist design, natural elements, and emphasis on simplicity and tranquility. These gardens often feature raked gravel, rock formations, and sometimes water elements like a small pond or waterfall, all arranged to evoke a sense of calm and harmony with nature. Zen gardens are a form of dry landscape gardening, where natural elements are arranged to represent a natural scene, typically a mountain or a waterway.
