What wonderful work is being done here. Very thoughtful and with lots of thought provoking items. I am a contemporary artist myself and always enjoy seeing the art of fellow artists and join discussions about art. I just recently have started my own site and hope that over time it will grow into an online art community where artists and art enthusiasts alike can meet and discuss their thoughts on art. Will recommend your blog to my friends. Will come back for more and wish you all the best.

P.s. Wish you all the best for your future work.

Dutchbaby, traditionally, ikebana would often be displayed with suiseki as part of a 2 or 3 point display in a tokonoma. Both art forms originated in the Zen practice of Tea.

The challenge for us now is to find new ways to display and enjoy both forms that fit with modern life, but that work with the underlying aesthetics of the ikebana and suiseki art forms. Most of us (in either the US or in Japan) do not have tea houses or tokonoma in our houses, and very few of us are Tea or Zen practitioners (much less masters at either!). It is a journey…

Thanks to both Dutchbaby and to Mark for your encouragement!

I am completely unfamiliar with this artform but am totally intrigued by it! As a flower artist, I can see this as a fabulous centerpiece of an ikebana arrangement. Is that being sacrilegious?

Thank you for presenting this amazing world of stone art in such a beautiful way!

Wow!
What an amazing Stone AND Diaza. I think this is the most striking Taki-ishi I have ever seen. Most are kind of chunky but this has extreme elegence. It takes me to deep mountain gorges with the feeling of discovering Shangri La. Some Suiseki have the power to “pull you in”, with this Stone my concern is not coming back. If I turn up missing you might have to organize a search party.
Of course it will turn into a collecting trip and I am then sure to be found.
The movement and exaggerated proportions give this Stone so much energy and harmony and the daiza is almost too perfect… The surface is wonderful as well. I guess I just Love this Stone!
Thank you for sharing,

Mark
