Zen gardens (Japanese: 枯山水 Karesansui), known as Karesansui in Japanese, are minimalist yet meaningful landscape compositions consisting of rocks, gravel, sand, and minimal vegetation, closely associated with Zen Buddhism in Japan. These gardens typically do not include water; instead, white gravel or sand is raked in wave-like patterns to represent rivers or ponds. The stones symbolize mountains, mosses represent islands, and the empty spaces reflect the infinity of nature. Kamakura Zen Garden
