Explanation :
Dry-landscape gardens, known as karesansui, gained popularity in Japan during the Muromachi period (approximately 1336 to 1573). This style of garden is characterized by the use of rocks, gravel, and sand to represent natural landscapes, often in a minimalist manner, without the presence of water.
