*** About Japanese Zen Gardens: A Japanese Zen garden, known for its refined simplicity, surrounds viewers with symbols designed to reflect the natural beauty of the landscape in a highly stylized manner. This form of garden artistry originated in Buddhist temples and was perfected in Japan by Zen monks. Central to these carefully composed landscapes are the elements used—rocks represent islands or animals, raked gravel or sand symbolizes rivers or seas, and selectively placed vegetation signifies forests or paths. These gardens are crafted to be viewed from a single, seated perspective, where peace and harmony govern the sensory experience, promoting contemplation and mindfulness.
