Japanese Zen rock garden landscape miniature

Quick answer：

Japanese Zen rock gardens, also known as 'kare-sansui,' are traditional Japanese gardens that use carefully arranged rocks, sand, and sometimes gravel to represent natural landscapes. These gardens are minimalist and emphasize the concepts of tranquility and simplicity. Landscape miniatures within such gardens are small-scale representations of natural landscapes, often used to convey the essence of a larger, natural setting.
