Karesansui is a style of Japanese gardens, and it refers to the gardens made of stone, gravel, and sand. This karesansui is recognized for its artistic value, and research is being conducted in multilateral ways with keen interest in the US and Europe, too. However, most of the materials or journals related with it, in fact, deal with the architecture, landscape design, or the history of Japanese gardens, and it is hard to find any of those that are about their artistic aspects. Gardens are characterized by their change of appearance according to the flow of time as well as seasons. But about karesansui, the gardens are composed of stone, gravel, and sand abstaining use of natural elements that are changing such as trees, moss, grass, and water; thus, they tend to maintain their original appearance in the beginning unlike other gardens. Accordingly, focusing on the characteristics that karesansui is equipped with, this researcher is going to analyze here the formative elements of karesansui gardens among Japanese gardens and discuss their potentials as a sort of artwork. |
