Stormy Night Suiseki
$40.00
In Japan, many suiseki aficionados hunt their quarry in riverbeds. River stones (kawa ishi) often have a perfect balance between the raw, rustic form of mountain stones (yama ishi) and the smooth, refined surface of a beach rock (umi ishi). This river stone from the North Cascades is a good example.
It does not look especially like a mountain (or other landscape form). However, it could be considered a monyoseki (patterned stone) suiseki. Imagine, for eample, slashing rain on a stormy night, illuminated by lightning!
