Your ceramics would not be suiseki however. Suiseki are stones shaped entirely by nature, not by human hands. So a clay sculpture of a stone would be, well, a sculpture of a stone, and not a suiseki. And thank you for reading and commenting. -Janet Hi Raquel, your project sounds quite interesting! Your ceramics would not be suiseki however.

I am a ceramacist in Sydney working on an idea for representing the earth in symbiosis with us- on a grand scale. your site is inspiring to me. Supporting me to just follow my heart and intuition also. If I were to actually make my own stones from the clay of the earth and colour them with glazes made from the land would that be an acceptable parallel on true suiseki?? Although there are presently no trees involved. My subject revolves around the earth being in danger.. I would love to hear back from you. Thanks Raquel.

It provides both a frame for the composition, while also giving the "limitless space" of the suiban and sand.

Having googled this phrase, I came across this website and have been interested to read about Suiseki Art. The poem dates Looking Forward at 1982... please could you get back to me as to whether the wood carving mentioned in the poem & Mas's are one-and-the-same? I am intrigued & would be very grateful to hear from you! Yours, Inquisitive Hi there, I have recently had a poem dedicated to me which makes reference to a wood carving called Looking Forward.
