Dry landscape gardening, also known as karesansui, is a traditional Japanese gardening technique that focuses on the use of rocks, sand, and occasionally moss or gravel to create a tranquil and minimalist garden space. This technique is deeply rooted in Zen Buddhism and aims to evoke a sense of peace and meditation. A small-scale version of this is referred to as a 'simple dry landscape with Zen Buddhist taste, small garden'. It typically incorporates carefully placed rocks and raked sand to symbolize mountains, water, and the natural world in a simplified manner, providing a contemplative experience for the viewer.
