Although we could look at many web pages, we can do the job very well with just this one: The Japanese Garden — created by Clifton C. Olds, Professor of Art History Emeritus at Bowdoin College in Maine.
I encourage you to look through the whole thing, but in class we will focus on two gardens:
Daisen-in and Ryoan-ji. The Zen Garden at Ryoan-ji (shown above) is probably the most recognizable and important works of art ever made.
For Ryoan-ji you can also consult the official site, the Wikipedia article, and this site from Columbia University.
