Suiseki: The Japanese Art of Miniature Landscape Stones

Suiseki: The Japanese Art of Miniature Landscape Stones

Suiseki are stones and minerals that have naturally weathered into forms suggestive of mountains, islands, waterfalls, people and animals. These highly decorated stones are also sophisticated tools for inner reflection. The Japanese have gathered suiseki for centuries, but the art has only recently become popular in the West in the last decade. This text provides both a general introduction to the art and a source of detailed information for enthusiasts. It emphasizes strategies for collecting quality specimens and includes information on geology, aesthetic appraisal, and lists of sites, organizations and resources around the world.
