There’s a mathematical beauty in this art form. I felt a deep sense of calm in seeing the order, like all is right with the world. The creations feel eternal, yet they are so fleeting.
I used to have a Zen garden that a spent 30 minutes a day just letting my mind go whenever it desired. And then I got cats. Maybe in time I take it out again and just learn to become one with the paw prints.
I had a meltdown earlier because this school term has been so stressful. But after watching this it's amazing how I was able to let my thoughts wander and then let them go and relax. I don't even remember how I found this video. But I'm so grateful.
@@senormooples2354 I am feeling much better! I finished the term and am taking a break from school for the rest of the year. I really appreciate your comment! :)
Never before did I realize the influence of Zen garden patterns on Art Deco (among many other "media"). This was mesmerizing. I will add, though several people wrote about the process putting them to sleep, I found myself wide awake by the end--relaxed and calm, though fully awake and alert. Thanks for sharing this...
One of my daughters went through a "Satisfying Videos" phase which was comprised mostly of images/sounds of hands squishing slime and various items/materials being cut open. Well, now daddy has found _his_ Satisfying Videos 😻.
wow, there really are professionals in everything. this is why I love the internet, you get to see people showcase skills you might not have even known existed otherwise :)
@@accountid9681I mean I've had my phone last 30 minutes on 0% so. It was on max battery saver and my phone has a habit of reading the battery incorrectly, but still.
The precision is so soothing. They have me thinking, all surgeons must do this as an outlet, and to keep their coordination in tact. Absolutely lovely!
For me this was the most impressive pattern, 9:22, considering that in came only from doing a single linear pass of the rake. The visual effect of that cuadricule is amazing.
I’ve been following this channel for many years now. You’re craftsmanship and eye for design never cease to amaze me. Thank you for your work. You sir are legendary.
This looks like it takes a lot of practice to get the lines so perfect, thank you. I love how you can still see the patterns after the under rake is used, very subtle and beautiful.
These videos reset my mind. Sadness, depression, self-flagellation - everything goes away, leaving a feeling of floating in the middle of endless space. I used to watch ASMR videos, but they didn’t help much, but your TH-cam channel gives me a feeling of comfort and peace of mind. Thank you!
TH-cam has been recommending this to me for weeks and i finally watched it. I'm absolutely floored with how peaceful and destressed i feel while watching this
My favorite part of this is when the pattern is wiped away. It's a lovely reminder that I too shall be wiped away, my mistakes and failures along with me.
Before watching this, I thought making a zen garden would be easy- but after, I see it takes alot of talent to actually make something that looks nice. Very impressive! 👍
19:36, the disc in the ripples is floating above the rings and bamboo poles below. it's as if the disc was dropped and the ripples are rolling out from the impact on the meniscus. it's all very 3D in a 2D plane
I think the fact it also looks very much like velvet and the neatness of the patterns give this satisfying soothingness. Has very much so scratched an itch in my brain that I never knew was there
This, was extremely calming for me. I was super stressed out and felt fine by the end of this video. I gotta make watching these a regular thing. As a mathematical person, I really love the geometric patterns here. I also love the dual concept of: 1) Being willing to put a lot of work into something beautiful and let it go 2) Having something really complicated that, at first glance, you don't know how it was made be wiped clean and smooth The second point was important for me and I felt a lot of the things I was worrying about vanish
some may say that symmetrical shaping, planned sketching, and precision tools takes the zen out of the garden, but to those on the ocd spectrum it's absolutely necessary or the entire world will burn. pure relaxation...
This came up as a recommendation and I am very happy. Such beauty exists in the simple sound of the tools on the sand, and the precision of the patterns. Thank you ❤
I truly admire the precision of your gestures. This is the kind of thing I'd love to do for relaxation, but I'm clumsy, my hands are shaky, and I get nervous about little details like a line that's not straight etc... so I'd probably spend 20mn trying to draw a satisfying circle, fail, and get anxious 😂
well i don´t even have a zen garden so you´re doing better than me already man. Creation is a natural human trait, do you think ancient pots found at archaeological sites are made by masters? Nah. Just people doing people things. There is no fail. There is only create.
That's because you are thinking while you do it. The entire point of zen is let the mind do it's own thing. Release yourself from the need of controlling your mind.
Hahahaha! I was thinking the same about doing it for relaxation. Then I remembered my hands are shaky and I freak out about details like straight lines or perfect circles and would also spend forever trying to get it perfect and just end up anxious and stressed!! Better to watch someone else do it lol!
I found this very beautiful. As a maker, the precision I need when crafting an item is similar to the skills needed for this. It is exercising that same thought muscle, tuning your mind to steadiness.
Idk how you don't have enough recognition.. Your zen garden videos are by far the best I've seen out there.. So smooth.. Such pleasing sounds and visuals ✨✨✨
I know nothing about why these exist and any cultural perspectives around them but I do know I love maths and i love art and this is the perfect amalgamation of the two together. It’s mesmerising and beautiful, thanks for sharing this beautiful practice with the world
This may be my all time favorite video. If I could watch it on repeat without blaring commercials I’d sleep to it every night. Maybe a longer one in the future some day? Heck even if it was just this same twenty minutes repeating! Anyway, thanks for the soothing contemplation, your mind is beautiful expressed in the sand
@@mathiaslarsen6829 yeah but some people can't afford them or don't want to spend money on something they might not appreciate except for watching videos to help them sleep, I know I have that problem
I saw Zen Garden patterns many times, but i didn’t know what all those for. But after watching this video, it really makes more sense and this art speaks up everything without anyone speaks.
Yet again, TH-cam shows me a World of creativity I never knew existed and will never fully explore. Just gonna file this alongside the 3D pen guy and super cool calligrapher 👍👍👍👍😏😏😏😏
Usually that phrase refers to the fact that a conflict has become inevitable and battle plans drawn up, so giving the phrase new connotations of peace and calmness is a really cool take on this!

Hey Yuki, just want to say thank you for these Zen Garden videos you make. When I find there is too much wurring around inside my head I revisit them from time to time to gently calm my brain down. Judging by the comments left on these videos I am not alone in how folks have responded to your service to humanity. Keep up the great work! :)
wow this was beautiful, relaxing, professional photography, incredible lighting, and so deep. the last design is so gorgeous and intricate, and then they wipe it all away in one swift motion. I was overcome with emotion when they did that. It made me realize that I have built a life that was beautiful, intricate, layered, and amazing, and just like that something came and wiped my design all away. all that time, energy, and work erased. but somehow it feels totally ok. because the blank sand has so many possibilities.
This is easily the best Zen Garden video I've watched by far. Such clean movements and patterns. It's a pleasure from the beginning to the end. I rarely go through these videos all the way just because it's so hard to make them look this comfortable. Great work!
TH-cam is recommending me better and better ASMR for sleeping to and this was absolutely perfect. It's too early for bed, so I enjoyed this while awake (but struggling not to sleep, lol) and then I'll save it to watch again when going to bed :) Very beautiful work as well, you really have to have a steady hand and a keen eye for measuring distance to ensure each circle is formed perfectly. Very talented!
I would like to see more videos that were this long. They are so nice to listen and watch. Extra plus, I’m someone that finds it hard to sleep and this made me feel so peaceful and calm to the point where I was about to fall asleep. 🤗 Thanks for sharing! It’s a very soothing and peaceful video.
The patterns, especially when the stones are centred, remind me of when an object is dropped into water. It’s really beautiful:)
yep. absolutely correct dude
What you described Is called an interference wave on water, for anybody that wants to know :0
@@rachela5252 I always wanna know everything lol.
That's actually on purpose. Sand represents water and rocks represent islands in Japanese rock gardens.

There’s a mathematical beauty in this art form.
I felt a deep sense of calm in seeing the order, like all is right with the world.
The creations feel eternal, yet they are so fleeting.
Thanks for that, great observations and articulation. Very Zen / Tao.
Exactly, everything just feels right when looking at these patterns.
Yah I like drawing circles too.

@Bob point we’ll taken :-)
could not agree more. _100%_ true
Watching this video, I was enticed to buy a zen garden for myself. Then your comment reminded me why I can't.
My little sister stopped crying when I showed her this. She fell asleep soon after.
How is she doing nowadays?
This is personally the strongest visual ASMR I've ever seen. 😍

I’ve stared at Art Deco For days…. Kindly splain your statement…thank you
Why did you put quotation marks on the word media?
I think it could be parallel evolution rooted in geometry, not necessarily influenced.
Are you serious? Simple line design does not make it Art Deco or even Zen garden for that matter.
wow. 100% perfect

What the dog doing tho

23 minutes of pure simple happiness. My new favorite video on TH-cam !
My favorite part of this is when the pattern is wiped away. It's a lovely reminder that I too shall be wiped away, my mistakes and failures along with me.
I woke w a migraine for the third day in a row. This is exactly what my eyes and mood needed to soothe and calm. I will be visiting this again😌
Before watching this, I thought making a zen garden would be easy- but after, I see it takes alot of talent to actually make something that looks nice. Very impressive! 👍
this was really hypnotizing, i feel like if i watch these or practice this my attention span will grow and i'll be more calmer and confident

The end product is always beautiful. But damn, the process is an art-form within itself. So much control and gentleness is needed.

some may say that symmetrical shaping, planned sketching, and precision tools takes the zen out of the garden, but to those on the ocd spectrum it's absolutely necessary or the entire world will burn.
pure relaxation...
Not how ocd works
Those on the autistic spectrum like it too
Hey watch what you're saying, I'm being autistic here
I had no intention of watching this 23 minute video.
Perhaps having no intention was what made it possible.
Mesmerizing.
This is one of the most relaxing things I've seen in my life - I could watch this every day!!
I think this is what we can call "Perfection". Thank you.
This is literal meditation, so beautiful thank you!
This came up as a recommendation and I am very happy. Such beauty exists in the simple sound of the tools on the sand, and the precision of the patterns. Thank you ❤
I wonder if there’s science behind why this is so calming, I feel such peace but I don’t know why.
Order
I feel like the rhythm of the rake on sand sounds like waves
Look up ASMR,you’ll find a whole community dedicating their videos towards doing noises like these for relaxation purposes

池・石・木・橋・亭で理想郷である桃源郷を表す中国庭園に対し、砂と木、苔（時には砂だけで）表現する枯山水は日本庭園の代表的なものだよね。わびさびとか不均衡の美を感じられる。
この紋様や岩の配置にもそれぞれ意味するものがあったりするのも奥深さがあって良い。
日本でも有名な竜安寺の枯山水は15個ある石の配置も工夫されていて、7,5,3に分かれているとか上から見ると「心」という字の崩しに見えるとか、どの角度から見ても１４個しか見えないとか、そういう部分にまで心配りされているところも含めて「和」なんだろうな・・・

Wow I'm not the only person who finds a similar experience of ASMR but through visual imagery stimuli! Thank you for this amazing video!
I dunno why but this is just so satisfying to watch.
