The arrangement employs triangles or odd numbers, and the table legs are expressed through natural and uneven curves to bring about the most natural feeling possible.

- In moments when you need to release negative energy, you can rake the sand directly on the table. This is a dynamic meditation technique often employed in actual Zen gardens.
