Zen Rock Garden/ Script
The Zen Rock Garden came about during the Heian Period. The Heian period was the last division of classical Japanese history, from 794 to 1185. The garden has been traditionally used as a tranquil and meditative area. Rock and sand gardens are sacred realms for zen monks to perform their daily practice. The Zen monks enjoy rock and sand gardens very much because they seemed the perfect fit that accommodated their ideas of simplicity an harmony. The gardens consist of mostly well cultivated rocks and sand. The sand has designs in it made with a rake, so when you look at the designs, it gives an illusion of water. The rocks take place for animals, mountains, or trees. Sand can symbolize water, a stream, an ocean, or a waterfall, In reality rocks are just rocks an sand is just sand.
