About Suiseki

Suiseki is the Japanese art of stone appreciation and may also refer to the objects of the appreciation—the stones. Suiseki may take many forms including those that bear a resemblance to human figures, animal figures, landscape forms, and those which are purely abstract. Landscape forms are the most popular as they can be displayed alongside Bonsai.

Generally, suiseki collectors prefer blacker stones to stones of a lighter color and those with a smooth texture over those that are more rough.
