Bonseki is the art of creating landscapes using white sand, rocks and figures. Though the date of Bonseki’s origin is unknown, the collective thought is it came about in the 7th Century CE. The idea was it was initially used as a way of blueprinting for the creation of Japanese gardens. The art of Bonseki today is a dying art, with its very unique equipment and rare pieces. A very meditational practice, Bonseki offers the creator an outlet for pure imagination and a peaceful mind.
