For centuries the <I>karesansui</I> garden had mainly been a symbolic representation of the natural landscape. Then the Kyoto artist and scholar Shigemori Mirei (1896-1975) set out to explore ways to transform this traditional Japanese Garden type. His background as a painter allowed him to see several new ways to do so. Shigemori introduced lines, shapes and colors to the <I>karesansui</I> garden. Also he departed from the usual reference to a historical or natural landscape and based some of his new gardens on a story or the images a place’s name evokes. The result is a new type of <I>karesansui</I> garden.
