The dry landscape or Zen rock garden, known as 'kare-sansui' in Japanese, is a traditional Japanese garden that features carefully arranged rocks, raked gravel, and sometimes plants, all designed to evoke a feeling of nature in a minimalist style. Poets throughout history have written about these gardens, often emphasizing their serene and meditative qualities. These poems often describe the beauty and tranquility of the gardens, their ability to symbolize the essence of nature, and the spiritual experience they offer.
