SUISEKI
Suiseki is the Japanese art of stone appreciation. Special stones are naturally formed over time by wind and water, which make them take on unique shapes and can remind us of other natural objects. Suiseki can be displayed on their own or be used as an accent to complement a bonsai tree. Learn more about the practice of Suiseki.
