Karakusa rock landscape models are artistic representations of Japanese Zen rock gardens, known as 'kare-sansui'. These models are typically crafted from natural stones and are designed to evoke a sense of tranquility and the essence of natural landscapes, even in a small space. They often feature elements like raked sand, rocks, and sometimes moss, arranged to represent mountains, water, and other natural features. These models are popular in gardens, both in Japan and internationally, as a way to incorporate the principles of Zen into one's living space.
