Japanese rock gardens are not really associated with Zen Buddhism as much as it is a Japanese culturally item, which really originated China. In Japan since personal space is limited people adopted the Chinese method of gardening which tries to replicate the world or local area in a small confined space using rocks, plants and water. Water is used in pools and streams to replicate oceans and rivers. When water can not be used rock (pebble) gardens are used. The pebbles in the rock garden can be groomed to replicate waves, flowing water and pools of water. Large rocks reflect mountians and mountain ranges. These gardens tend to be calm reflective places so many Buddhist monasteries have one.
