Chinese Scholar Stone Tall Slender Lingbi Rock on Display Stand
About the Item
A visually arresting tall vertical scholar stone of Lingbi type balanced on a fitted wood base. The rock formation features an elegant slender form of highly sculptural surface with open grottos, qualifying the type as the Linglong Lingbi. Enhanced from its natural form with further mindful carving, Linglong Lingbi allures the viewers to linger their eyes on its fine textural and spatial intricacy, thus evoking a meditative and poetic feeling. The greyish black stone is beautifully contrasted with scattered white striations embedded in the body. Extraordinarily slender with a subtle S-shape curve, the form is reminiscent of an ancient tree trunk bended in the wind. The surface has an oily wax texture, and its furrows and folds add more drama to its exotic appearance. The stone has a beautiful ringing tone when knocked, a character of Lingbi stones.
The naturally weathered stone from Lingbi, Anhui Province were collected and priced by Chinese scholars since Tang dynasty. They were displayed in the scholar's study on complimentary custom wood stand serving as a focal point for meditation on nature and philosophy. The novelty of the shape and unusual cavities that were weathered naturally through ages were highly appreciated as an inspiration for containing nature in imagination.

Japanese "Suiseki" Mountain View Scholar's Stone / Elegant Mountain Scenery
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a stone mined in Japan.
Not only in China but also in Japan from ancient times, rocks in the mountains have been shaved and stones for viewing have been quarried.
Such stones for appreciation are collectively called "suiseki".
Suiseki means "water" and "stone".
The name comes from the fact that I enjoyed pouring water on the stones and changing the color of the stones.
And this item is also Suiseki, but it is for viewing without splashing water.
It is made with the image of a mountain view.
