Gardens in Japan; Karesansui (Dry Landscape, Rock Gardens) and Tsukiyama (Hill Gardens) Rock Gardens, Dry Landscapes, Hill Gardens Karesansui, Kasan, Tsukiyama, Others Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), a noted writer on Japan, said this about Japanese rock gardens: “In order to comprehend the beauty of a Japanese garden, it is necessary to understand -- or at least to learn to understand -- the beauty of stones. Not of stones quarried by the hand of man, but of stones shaped by nature only. Until you can feel, and keenly feel, that stones have character, that stones have tones and values, the whole artistic meaning of a Japanese garden cannot be revealed to you. Not only is every stone chosen with a view to its particular expressiveness of form, but every stone in the garden or about the premises has its separate and individual name, indicating its purpose or its decorative duty.â€Â
