Their intended purpose is to use natural elements like sand, stone, wood, and gravel to encourage a sense of relaxation for meditation. These materials are commonly connected to the simplicity of nature. Additionally, zen gardens are often enclosed by walls to separate the place of meditation and peace from the stress of the outside world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"603\" src=\"http:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-1024x603.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-1024x603.png 1024w, https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-768x452.png 768w, https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-1536x904.png 1536w, https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-1246x733.png 1246w, https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-675x397.png 675w, https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM-480x282.png 480w, https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screen-Shot-2023-05-02-at-1.53.13-PM.png 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Sean McGovern, The Ry\u00f4an-ji Zen garden: textual meanings in topographical form, October\u00a02004, Muromachi period, <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the Muromachi period in Kyoto, Japan, zen gardens, also known as Karesansui, were often created at temples of Zen&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":4070,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[154,3,227,226],"class_list":["post-3949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-garden","tag-japan","tag-rockgarden","tag-zengardens","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/92"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3949"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4071,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949\/revisions\/4071"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
