The technique of dry landscape sand and gravel arrangement

Quick answer：

The technique of dry landscape sand and gravel arrangement, known as Karesansui in Japanese, is a form of Japanese dry landscape gardening. It involves arranging white sand or pebbles on a flat surface to represent water and mountains. This style emphasizes the minimalist and abstract representation of natural scenery, often found in Zen Buddhist temples. The design elements include raked patterns, rocks representing mountains, and sometimes moss or evergreen plants to indicate the presence of water.
