{"product_id":"japan-zen-garden","title":"Japan Zen Garden","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSand, stones and a bronze Buddha turn this Japan zen garden into a small evening altar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dark wooden tray rests on short feet, like a low table in a temple. White sand fills one side. Smooth pebbles fill the other, where a Buddha sits in deep bronze tones, eyes half closed. A round pot with carved relief stands in the sand, and a small black rake lies across the edge, waiting for the first line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything here follows \u003cstrong\u003ekanso\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Japanese art of simplicity. Nothing is added that does not need to be there. Sand for movement, stones for strength, the Buddha for stillness. Monks call this seated stillness \u003cstrong\u003ezazen\u003c\/strong\u003e. In its purest form, \u003cstrong\u003eshikantaza\u003c\/strong\u003e, the practice is simply to sit, with no goal and no effort. Draw slow curves in the sand at dusk, set the pebbles in a new path and sit for a moment. No need for a temple to try it. A shelf, a bedroom corner or a yoga space is enough to end the day with a clear mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Wood, resin, sand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: 8.7 x 5.9 in (22 x 15 cm) or 4.9 x 4.9 in (12.5 x 12.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Tray, Buddha statue, decorative pot, sand, pebbles, rake\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japanese Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67766055665716,"sku":"Japan Zen Garden#Default Title","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/8436\/4084\/files\/japan-zen-garden.webp?v=1792531688","url":"https:\/\/japanese-decor.com\/products\/japan-zen-garden","provider":"Japanese Decor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
