Karesansui Tang Dynasty

Quick answer:

Karesansui, also known as dry landscape garden, is a traditional Japanese garden design that emerged during the Heian period. It was further developed during the Tang Dynasty in China, where it was known as 'dry landscape'. Karesansui gardens use gravel, sand, and rock formations to represent natural landscapes, often with a minimalist aesthetic. The integration of this concept into Japanese garden design occurred during the Muromachi period.
