Suiseki Viewing Stones 2018 California Aiseki Kai

Suiseki Viewing Stones at Huntington Gardens (San Marino, California) December 30, 2018
The Suiseki Tradition: www.aisekikai.c...
Suiseki are small stones shaped by nature, unaltered by man, which suggest familiar landscapes such as mountains, islands, waterfalls, shorelines or seascapes. Further, to be classified as suiseki, the material must be dense, dark in color and possess a subtle patina. These stones are displayed in hand carved wooden bases, called daiza, or in trays of sand, called suiban, where the sand represents the earth's surface, either land or water. To complete the display, the stone and its surroundings are shown on a low table or slab of wood,called jiita.

I didn't know that there was a Suiseki in America.
I think the display stone is also wonderful.

What is the stone at 9:34? Looks too dark to be a Jasper but MAN what a beautiful colour!

Can you recommend a book on this beautiful art form? Every rock I have ever collected has reminded me of an aerial view of mountains or cliff sides. Nothing as perfect as in your video .

[@raymosteller]

No, I'm sorry I don't know any books on this subject but you might search your local library. I've only learned about viewing stones from attending local exhibitions in the Los Angeles area (LA County Arboretum in Arcadia, CA, and Huntington Gardens in San Marino, CA.) I strongly recommend attending these types of exhibitions. They are very inspiring examples of nature!

[@raymosteller]

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I cannot recommend a good book on this topic. However, I do note that Amazon has a few books on "viewing stones" or "suiseki". But there are a number of good CZcams videos on viewing stones. Here's one that I recorded at the Los Angeles County Arboretum on "Korean-American viewing stones": czcams.com/video/Nltps_QSPNQ/video.html

Highly recommend book Suiseki: The Asian Art of Beautiful Stones by author Willi Benz. Great introduction, overview and history of the art. Explains all about the different classifications and what is desirable in a stone, proper display techniques, the art of the wood bases, and a step-by-step tutorial of how to work with them. Beautiful color pictures throughout.
