Gravel,
small stones or pebbles. A corrupted form of sazare 細 meaning tiny
stones. Jari have been given various names depending on their color,
shape and location. These include blue soybean pebbles aodaizu-jari
青大豆砂利, and red bean-shaped pebbles azuki-jari 小豆砂利, Tamagawa gravel
tamagawa-jari 玉川砂利, or Shinagawa stones shinagawa-jari 品川砂利. Gravel
may also be derived from volcanic ash or lava. Traditionally, gravel had
many uses including: garden paths, sometimes in conjunction with large stones;
simulating flowing streams in dry gardens; ground cover raked into patterns
in temple gardens; courtyards etc. Gravel was also used as part filler for
castle ramparts, temple building podia etc. Small stones were also used
to catch the rain water flowing off roofs. |
