Stairstones, Tobi-ishi (\u98db\u77f3) in Japanese, are an indispensable element of traditional Japanese gardens. Unlike a garden path, walking on stairstones requires more concentration. This has a positive effect on how people experience and take in the garden. Additionally, stairstones prevent people from walking next to each other, which reduces distraction. In a tea garden, this also ensures that not everyone arrives at the tea house at the same time before the tea ceremony begins.<\/p>\n
The stepping stone path was introduced by tea master Sen no Riky\u016b, a very famous historical figure. The original idea behind the stepping stones was to keep the Z\u014dri, traditional Japanese slippers, clean and dry while walking through the garden.<\/p>\n
