Japanese dry landscape plan refers to a style of landscaping that emphasizes simplicity and the natural beauty of rocks, sand, and sometimes plants. It is a traditional Japanese art form that dates back to the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The layout often follows Zen principles, focusing on creating a serene and contemplative space. Key elements include carefully placed rocks, raked sand patterns, and sometimes trees or shrubs. This style is prevalent in Japanese Zen gardens and tea gardens.
