Top 100 Suiseki of Japan

Suiseki is the Japanese art of stone appreciation, which values aspects like stability, longevity and immortality. Formed through time by wind and water, stones can take several sizes and shapes, reminding us of natural objects. Suiseki are often placed on delicate wooden stands or trays, called daizas and dobans, respectively. The wooden stands serve to display the stones and create an image of harmony. The stones are naturally occurring and unshaped. Selections on display from the Suiseki 100 - an exhibit of Japan’s top 100 viewing stones at the 8th World Bonsai Convention in Saitama. The exhibition is indeed a sensory overload for stone enthusiast like me. Come and join me in My Bonsai Travel Vlog.
