Japanese gardens
Raked gravel, moss
Japanese gardens are landscaped spaces designed according to Japanese aesthetic principles, emphasizing harmony, balance, and natural beauty.
They typically feature carefully arranged elements like rocks, water, moss, pruned trees, and gravel raked into patterns.
Unlike Western gardens that often showcase colorful flowers, Japanese gardens create contemplative spaces through restraint and symbolic arrangement: The temple's Japanese garden included a koi pond and stone lanterns.
