Japanese rock garden design rendering

Quick answer:

Japanese rock gardens, also known as 'kare-sansui', are a traditional Japanese garden style that features carefully arranged rocks, sand, and sometimes moss to represent a natural landscape in a minimalistic way. The design often includes elements such as islands, mountains, and water represented by raked sand or gravel. These gardens emphasize the concept of wabi-sabi, which is a beauty that is impermanent, imperfect, and incomplete.
