Suisen (garden design)

Suisen refers to a style of garden design that emphasizes minimalism and natural elements, showcasing the beauty of plants in a serene and harmonious setting. Originating in Japan, it often features carefully arranged stones, water elements, and selected plant species to create a peaceful atmosphere. Suisen gardens prioritize simplicity and the thoughtful use of space, inviting contemplation and connection with nature. The design typically avoids excessive ornamentation, focusing instead on the intrinsic beauty of the materials and the surrounding landscape, promoting a tranquil and meditative environment.
