NATURAL STONE APPRECIATION
The culture of appreciation of natural art stone was an activity practised by Chinese nobility during the the Tang Dynasty about 1400 years ago. During that period, the various shapes and patterns of the natural art stone would provide the artists, poets and calligraphers with infinite inspiration. This culture was highly placed among the 8 types of ancient Chinese art.
There are many famous Chinese poets and artists who have expressed their strong feelings for the stones in prose, poem and painting. All of them admired the aesthetics of these natural works of art.
Below I have posted some information about stone appreciation.
SUISEKI
Suiseki (水石, 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.
