Unlike the European-style garden, the Japanese garden combines many elements to create harmonious architecture with its own unique beauty. Stone and gravel play a significant role in Japanese culture.

Big rocks represent hills and waterfalls. Rocks are stacked on top of each other to form mountains, or large rocks are used to build roads and bridges. Stones are worshiped as kami, creating impressive accents when decorating the garden.

Rocks of all shapes and sizes keep their pristine nature so that algae can multiply. From there, when looking at that rock, you will see natural beauty, like never before by human hands.

Gravel and sand are found in many temples, shrines and Kyoto's Kamigamo Shrine. Gravel and sand under the talent of the architects have become very special. Because they will represent beautiful offshore waves, especially in dry garden design. In addition, sand gravel is also used to line ponds and streams.
