Landscaped with white sand in a dry landscape garden

Quick answer:

Karesansui, also known as a dry landscape garden, is a Zen Japanese rock garden that uses gravel and rocks to represent a natural landscape, often a mountainous terrain. The use of white sand, or white pebbles, is common in these gardens to represent water, and is carefully raked to create patterns that symbolize ripples or waves. The design of karesansui is intended to evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, and it is often used in Zen Buddhist temples.
