"location": "A perfectly maintained Japanese Zen rock garden (Karesansui). The ground is fine white gravel raked into precise, concentric patterns around carefully placed, weathered rocks. A moss-covered stone lantern or a single, artfully pruned bonsai tree is visible in the background. A subtle bamboo fence encloses the space.",
