How to use this prompt
A Zen courtyard needs visible raked gravel patterns or the gravel reads as a plain floor. The single stone lantern is the sculptural focal point; without it the space feels empty rather than meditative. Cherry blossom petals add a fleeting seasonal touch, but scatter them sparingly — a carpet of petals turns the scene into a festival rather than a quiet temple.
Variations to try
- Autumn temple — red maple leaves on the gravel for a fall version
- Snowy courtyard — white garden with footprints leading to the veranda
