Japanese "Suiseki" Mountain View Scholar's Stone / Elegant Mountain Scenery

About the Item

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. The flow of the river flowing from the mountain is also expressed. This stone is quarried in "Seta river", Japan. The name is called "Setagawa stone". The surface is often rubbed by rivers and has a smooth stone surface. In addition, it seems that the dark skin is glossy and hard feeling is transmitted. This is a scenery that reminds us of a steep mountain even among "Suiseki". Rivers flow through the valleys, and nature is concentrated here. Stone generally has the impression of being cold and hard, but this feels smooth and soft. There is a difference in height, and the balance is good. In addition, the wooden stand is also carefully carved. How about decorating your room with this wonderful "suiseki"?
