NINEHOUNDTHE EASTERN ORACLE

NINEHOUND / CALENDAR & CULTURE TOOLS

A Japanese Dry Garden

A stone changes the whole garden. So does the space you leave around it.

Opening your little corner of the world…

A FIRST LOOK

The garden changes under your hand.

Move a stone, rake a path and keep the space around them.

A clear source of inspiration

The scene draws on Japanese karesansui, or dry-garden design. It is an original miniature composition, not a replica of a named temple garden or a universal claim about Eastern traditions.

Stones stand above the sand

Stones have irregular outlines, mineral grain and cast shadows. Rake grooves stay beneath them, so moving a stone reveals the earlier sand. Drag an existing stone or add another; the tool keeps stones inside the garden.

Your gestures can be changed

Undo returns to the previous arrangement or rake stroke. Reset restores the initial garden and can itself be undone. Keyboard controls support selecting and moving stones or drawing rake paths; Escape cancels an unfinished gesture.
