Indonesian suiseki

On this website we present part of our collection of beautiful suiseki, from Indonesia. These stones are works of art it made by nature. The amazing shapes and textures have been created during millions of years. These stones have played an important role in the history of art during the last thousand years in indonesia In English they are known under different names: spirit stone, scholars' rock, viewing stone, panorama stone or art stone.suiseki are relatively new to the western world, but some art museums in the US and Europe have started building up a collection of them. Once you have seen them, you will be fascinated by them and you'll understand why the indonesian people collected them. They are an intellectual challenge and an adventure, a way to the world within, rather than the outside. When placed on a pedestal it is art, art by the Gods. These rocks can radiate emotions, suggest movement, create tranquility, inspire an artist to create a work of art or start a close and rewarding relationship with the viewer. It can elevate your mind and take you on a journey to the beyond. In the essay Taihu Rocks, Bai Juyi wrote: "The famous mountains, the hundred caves and valleys are all presented by these rocks. Sit there and you can see at a glance a hundred hills spread over a thousand lines in a rock the size of a fist."We have a total of about 800 stones in stock. They can be viewed by appointment.
