Art designers Tomonori Saitou and Shohei Sawada teamed up with wagashi(Japanese confectionery) artisan Motohiro Inaba to create the Shinan-ji Temple Rock Garden. This set of treats offers an opportunity to combine the search for calm and serenity in your day while satisfying your sweet tooth.

The rocks are made from cubes shaped from black sesame, and the the sand is actually sugar. So after drawing up your own sand art and finding a moment of zen, you can enjoy your sweets in style.
