The Flat Garden [hira-niwa] is an example of how gardens in Japan have continued to develop the dry landscape style of the karesansui over time. In a garden such as this one, the designer works to balance the flat planes of the ground with the volume of stones, clipped shrubbery, and trees. This creates a depth of space.
