This small dry landscape garden is based on the Hojo Garden of Ryoanji Temple in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto. Have fun creating rivers and undulating surfaces with the sand. Recreate the garden of 15 stones at Ryoanji Temple, or enjoy creating your own unique garden. You can also draw sand patterns as you like. The tray is made of paulownia wood and finished with a jet-black urethane paint, giving it a durable and luxurious feel. It also makes a great gift! (Please note that each stone is a different shape.)</font></p><br /><img src="https://nicogusa.com/pic-labo/kare_ryoanji_002.jpg" alt="Kare Sansui" width="100%" /><img src="https://nicogusa.com/pic-labo/kare_ryoanji_003.jpg" alt="Kare Sansui Set" width="100%" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.nicogusa.com/pic-labo/tisokua.jpg" alt="Mini Karesansui Kit" width="100%" /><br /><p><font size="6">A stone basin engraved with the teaching of contentment</font></p><p><font size="3">The spirit of knowing contentment.
