{"product_id":"japanese-zen-garden","title":"Japanese Zen Garden","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA lone pine and raked waves make this Japanese zen garden a quiet world on your desk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite sand fills a light wooden frame. Raked lines flow across it like a river, then open into wide circles, like ripples after a stone falls into a pond. A small pine leans over the scene from a dark rock. A tiny pagoda stands on one side, and an old wooden bridge crosses on the other. Smooth pebbles mark the path between them. This is the art of \u003cstrong\u003ekaresansui\u003c\/strong\u003e, the dry landscape garden of Zen temples, where sand becomes water and stones become mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonks raked these gardens each morning as a form of \u003cstrong\u003emeditation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The patterns are called \u003cstrong\u003esamon\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each line asks for a steady hand and a quiet mind. The pine, or \u003cstrong\u003ematsu\u003c\/strong\u003e, stands for long life and resilience, because it stays green through every winter. The bridge marks the passage from the busy world to a calmer place. Take the rake between two meetings and draw new waves. Smooth them away and start again. Nothing here is meant to last, and that is the lesson. Set it on a desk, a shelf or in a meditation corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sand, wood, plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 15.7 x 11.4 x 1 in (40 x 29 x 2.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: White sand, artificial pine bonsai, pebbles, pagoda, bridge, rake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: Light wood tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: Desk, office, shelf, meditation space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japanese Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67764802945076,"sku":"Japanese Zen Garden#Default Title","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/8436\/4084\/files\/japanese-zen-garden.webp?v=1792531606","url":"https:\/\/japanese-decor.com\/products\/japanese-zen-garden","provider":"Japanese Decor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
