Saikei (Japanese: 栽景, Hepburn: saikei; lit. 'planted landscape') is the Japanese art of creating tray landscapes that combine miniature living trees with soil, rocks, water, and related vegetation (like ground cover) in a single tray or similar container. A saikei landscape is meant to evoke a natural location through its overall topography, choice of ground materials, and the plant species used.
