SUISEKI (viewing stones or landscape stones) are in fashion everywhere where the interest in bonsai has flourished. The reason for the fascination of Suiseki lies in their physical beauty and immovability. Behind that physical simplicity there is hidden all the beauty of a mountain or mountain ranges, crater lakes, snow lined ridges, chasms. Contemplation of the stone can reveal to us more about our inner selves, the stone reflecting our emotions through our imagination. They can provoke thoughts of mountains we have seen in our travels.

Another attraction is they do not require any special care. If you are into woodworking, a great deal of the joy can be in creating the dia (stand) for the stone. The discovery itself can be immensely pleasurable to the finder.
