Japanese antique appreciation stone/penis-shaped stone/strange stone
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
We have a unique Japanese aesthetic sense.
And only we can introduce unique items through our purchasing channels in Japan and the experience we have gained so far, in such a way that no one else can imitate.
This is a stone carved in the image of an old Japanese male genitalia.
There is a possibility that it was a natural stone that had been carved by the running water of a river for a long time, but it is more likely that it was carved artificially.
In Japan, objects in the shape of male and female genitalia have been made for a long time. The materials used are stone and wood.
In the case of stone, some are made from 3,000 yen to 4,000 years ago.
At that time, it was used in ceremonies to pray for the prosperity of descendants.
In the case of this stone, it was probably dedicated to shrines and village shrines in hopes of prosperity of descendants.
This stone is believed to be from before the Edo period.
Because two types of rocks are mixed, the color contrast is beautiful.
I prepared the pedestal.
Also, there are some shallow cracks, but there is no need to worry about breaking the stone.

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".

Chinese Scholar Rock Yellow Taihu Stone on Wood Stand
Located in Atlanta, GA
On offer is a tall Taihu scholar rock in a mushroom-cloud form displayed on a custom carved wood stand. Wonderful and well-balanced, the stone is of an uncommon waxy deep yellow color with black and white mineral deposits mixed into the texture. Being exposed to the flowing water for millennium, the surface has been polished and weathered, and is now mostly smooth yet still maintains some slightly rugged edges and points at places. Many grottoes puncture and permeate the piece, interlinking and window-like, creating interesting positive and negative spaces for a meditative mind. A remarkable work of art created by mother nature.
Stones such as this from Taihu lake was among the four famous stones since ancient time in China. They have been collected and prized by Chinese scholars since Tang dynasty when using them in garden came in vogue. Later on, smaller pieces like this one were displayed in the scholar's private study serving as a mini form of nature for meditation. In China, they are also known as Gongshi ("worshipped stone") and in the west, known also as Spirit Stone...
