Japanese moss garden landscape effect

Quick answer：

The Japanese moss garden landscape effect refers to the aesthetic presentation of a Japanese garden characterized by the use of moss, rocks, and often raked sand or gravel to create a natural, tranquil, and minimalist environment. These gardens aim to evoke a sense of nature's simplicity and the passage of time. The key elements include carefully arranged moss, which can come in various shades of green, to create a soft, living carpet over the rock formations, typically placed in a specific order to represent natural landscapes, such as mountains, water, and trees. The overall effect is meant to be a meditative and harmonious space that reflects Zen principles.
