Dear Mas and Janet,
It was lovely to see you, and to chat awhile. I just finished reading the article about carving Daiza, and really appreciate the effort. Trying to fit daiza aethestically to each stone is a challenge. I will suggest this article to both newcomers to Suiseki, and crusty oldtimers- there is a lot to learn, and seeing the outcome of different styles on a single stone is great. Thanks, Bob

Morten, Sam – thanks very much for your thoughts and encouragement. Mas is a professional artist, so of course his work is for sale (though like many artists he often has mixed feelings about actually parting with anything!). I have often thought about offering some suiseki for sale on the web, but have always stopped short.

It seems like it would be very difficult for a buyer to really evaluate a suiseki and determine if they want it based simply on a web photo – no matter how good our photos eventually become. (Taking good photos of stones is HARD!) But perhaps there are ways around that.

So – I will probably do this sometime, maybe soon. Any thoughts on this from a buyer’s perspective are welcome! Either post a comment here or email me.

Dear Mas and Janet,
I am missing something when I look at your site. I like art and I collect art. When will Mas part with some of his traditional suiseki – or the more modern, Sueseki Art? Will the ever be a page titled “A few for sale”?

I know how time-consuming and occasionally treacherous it sometimes is to find stones with the right possibility and quality for your artistic vision. I do not have the skills for that. That is why I hope that there will one day be a new page on your blog-site. Morten

Dear Mas, I recently came across your website by accident when searching for walnut slabs. Your work is very beautiful.I was not famiilar with suiseki before finding your website (very nice job by the way) and now I am very happy to have found it. I have been a cabinetmaker for many years but my style has been mainly western with some asian influences. In the past few years I have been struggling with my work and my need to express myself creatively .Although some may find my work creative ,this type of “art form”is limiting. I have been toying with the idea of using walnut to sculpt with,but find it very expensive. Is the place in santa rosa still there and open to public? Eichi
