A traditional Japanese Zen garden featuring carefully arranged rocks of various sizes on meticulously raked gravel. The rocks are positioned to create a harmonious and serene atmosphere. In the background, a traditional Japanese building with wooden architecture and a tiled roof adds to the peaceful setting. Surrounding the garden are lush green trees, contributing to the tranquil environment.
