Fukinsei
Asymmetry holds the eye. No stone centers; the garden balances off-axis like a held breath.
Kanso
Clarity over clutter. Mist slider veils the far stones; stillness slows every ripple you make.
Shizen
Natural, unforced. Autumn drops one leaf; winter settles snow on the tall stone only.
Yugen
Profound grace. Pour tea: steam rises, the verse changes, and the garden asks nothing back.
Sitting appendix · Q — five stones

Place one stone.

The gardener offers five placements. Choose where your stone rests and receive its sitting verse — then sit with it a while.

The garden waits for your stone.

Sittings with this stone: 0
East

Catches dawn first. Low stones there teach humility before tea.

North

The tall stone wears winter snow. Sit facing it when the mind races.

Nowhere

The boldest placement. The garden keeps your stone in its pocket.
