The Tohoji Temple Zen master's courtyard dry landscape refers to a traditional Japanese Zen rock garden located at the Tohoji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Known as 'kare-sansui,' or 'dry landscape,' this type of garden uses rocks, sand, and sometimes gravel to represent natural landscapes like mountains, rivers, and lakes. It is designed to be meditative and minimalist, reflecting the Zen Buddhist philosophy of simplicity and natural beauty.
