Japanese dried tree landscape works, also known as 'karasu-zuki,' are artistic arrangements of dried, dead trees. These are often found in Japanese gardens and are valued for their minimalist beauty and symbolic meaning. The technique involves selecting and positioning the trees to create a natural, yet intentionally crafted, composition. The dried wood is left in a state of decay to emphasize the natural cycle of life and death, and to evoke a sense of peacefulness and timelessness.
