Zen Buddhism is better known for reflection on deeper issues of life, meditation as contrary to the abundance and glitter of material transience, therefore its art was more expressed by landscape architecture and gardens, rather than sculptures.
Explanation:
The KAMAKURA period (XII-XIV centuries) is the age of Zen gardens, today a world-famous style of space design and landscape architecture. Zen gardens are created to be a place to meditate and enjoy discovery of the deeper meaning of life. Example is famous Saihō-ji (Koke-dera) Garden which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage.
