The most classic Japanese dry landscape

Quick answer：

The most classic Japanese dry landscape refers to the Zen rock garden, also known as 'kare-sansui'. It is a traditional Japanese garden that uses rock, sand, and moss to represent a natural landscape. This form of gardening emphasizes the beauty of simplicity and is often used in Zen Buddhist temples. The garden's design typically includes raked sand patterns, carefully placed rocks to represent mountains, and occasionally small representations of islands or streams. The concept of kare-sansui originated in the 8th century and became popular during the Muromachi period (1336-1573).
