Old Japanese Scholar's Stone / Beautiful Appreciation Stone/Natural Stone
About the Item
This is a stone mined in Japan. Measure: w 22cm.
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.
This is probably considered to be a stone called "Shiko-seki".
It is one of the stones produced in the Abe River in Shizuoka Prefecture.
It is a natural stone that has not been processed.
It is characterized by a mixture of colors such as green, blue, purple, and red.
Other characteristics of the stone are that the surface is rough and hard.
It is a type of tuff.
This stone is also a marble-patterned rock containing green and red.
It is very attractive and I never get tired of looking at it.
The pedestal is also made to match this stone and has a beautiful curved pedestal.
Probably made after 1950.
Since it is small, it can be placed anywhere in the room. How about displaying it in your entryway or living room?
It is very difficult to find such an attractive stone.
It is a recommended item.

- Japanese antique appreciation stone/penis-shaped stone/strange stoneLocated in Sammu-shi, ChibaWe 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. Wooden penises...Category
