Description

Antique Japanese Suiseki Viewing Stone — Mountain Form on Wooden Base, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-357-8)
Where the Spirit of the Mountains Rests in Stillness

This captivating Japanese Suiseki (水石) viewing stone evokes the tranquil majesty of a solitary mountain rising from morning mists. Sculpted not by human hands but by nature itself, its mossy green veins and rugged contours mirror the weathered slopes of distant peaks. Polished to a soft sheen, it invites meditation, storytelling, and quiet contemplation.

Cradled in a custom-carved wooden daiza (台座), this suiseki exemplifies the Japanese art of appreciating stones as miniature landscapes—a practice rooted in Zen and deeply cherished by collectors and tea masters alike. Each viewing angle reveals a new expression: a valley, a summit, or the embrace of clouds.
