A tranquil Japanese zen garden: A meticulously maintained zen garden occupies the courtyard of an ancient temple. Carefully raked white gravel forms precise geometric patterns around large, moss-covered rocks that represent islands in a sea of tranquility. A single gnarled pine tree, centuries old, leans gracefully over a small, still pond where koi fish glide just beneath the surface. Along one side, a wooden walkway leads to a simple tea house with shoji screens and a thatched roof. Cherry blossom petals drift gently on the breeze, settling on the gravel and water. In the background, mist-shrouded mountains provide a serene backdrop to this contemplative space.
