Suiseki the Japanese Art of Stone Appreciation

[@-ChrisD]

At the risk of merely stating the obvious, I must say the last one was amazingly resemblant of a glacier or mountain by or in the ocean or a lake. Quite a fascinating video. Thank you for sharing, David!!

[@BonsaiSociety]

Thanks Chris yes it does look like a glacier!

[@OddBonsai]

Love the great suiseki examples in your collection, but more than that I love how passionately you talk about them. I think the last one, representing the large plateau, impressed me the most.

[@BonsaiSociety]

Thank you they're so inspiring that I can't stop talking about them

[@MaybeBonsai]

The last one is my favourite one, I see it as a vast lake with mountains at the far end shores

[@BonsaiSociety]

Yeah I also see it as an immense lake or an ocean crashing at the base of the mountains

[@harrietb2141]

Beautiful stones . They really looks like landcapes.🥰

[@karlcottingham1472]

Oh David. Thanks for such a treat. I am now one who covets stone. Love your videos. Karl

[@sceetee22]

I'm also passionate about rocks and gems! Such vivid descriptions, I got pictures in my mind. I could almost see the tiny people, trees, and animals that formerly lived on them on tiny, far away planets! 😄

Beautiful stones, thanks for the introduction for suiseki David.

[@BonsaiSociety]

I'm glad to share with you Stanley

[@hanspeter6198]

Love it. Keep the videos going David. I really learned a lot from you already!

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

This is so Interesting, I've never heard of these. The last one really seemed like a beautiful place to me.. You continue to educate us. Thank you!

[@Nagatoshinra]

Second one, represents the grandiosity of nature. Also I loved the custom size holders they are kept on. Beautiful.

[@jtkruk]

Loved the last one . Please post more videos about SUISEKI.

[@BonsaiSociety]

It's rare that I post videos on suiseki but I'll try!

[@RoryWilmer]

Thanks David. I’d love to know more about the custom made stands that the stones sit on. Both the stand under the stone and the display table they sit on. Can you do a video about that please. Nice one.

[@BonsaiSociety]

I will do it in the future! Thank you

[@RoryWilmer]

@@BonsaiSociety Thank you David. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Best wishes from Prague for 2022 and for more great content.

[@chrisbanner7551]

@@BonsaiSociety I was also thinking about the stands there amazing I have a beautiful stone but I can't find a good enough stand I imagine there customised to each individual The middle stone was really inspiring I was in awe like I was transported there

Desde Chile maestro soy Ángel lo felicito y agradezco su amor por su colección y también su modo de educar nuestros ojos espirituales.Bendiciones

[@tobywilson4876]

Thanks for sharing David my favourite was the last one, although I rather thought that the flat landscape looked like a sea bay with the ripples in it! I'll be keeping more of an eye out for rocks on coastal walks in the future!

[@modtheblackmarvel]

Sir David ..you cant do this to me!! How im i going to explain Suiseki to my wife 😂😂😂 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️love the way you can realy hear passion in someone voice it becomes like poetry. Im new to bonsai ,i learn it has many dimensions. And you have a great taste of art . Thanks for sharing this great assemblage of Suiseki Greatings from The Netherlands .

[@tasanastasi7799]

Your knowledge is incredible sir

[@joegarland4885]

I love the small suiseki I have one which was collected from Death Valley in the sixties by a Scottish bonsai artist he had a stand and a lined box made to display it in. I love it and would like to get some more to start a small collection.

[@yung_bonsai]

The second one that you talked about was easily my favorite. Seigaku-ishi, I believe? I hope my spelling is correct. I've always found great interest in Suiseki, but have already gotten to the point where it feels like I've bitten off more than I can chew with the amount of bonsai/pre-bonsai I have taking up space!

[@BonsaiSociety]

You wrote it correctly. Seigaku river stones are my very favorites!

[@VictorHernandez-lr2un]

the last one is truly impressive⛰️🏞️

[@kundanjoisher4900]

Hello, Mr. Easterbrook! I have watched all your videos and learned a lot from them. You have not done a video on tools. Could you advice a good tools set/ company. I am very confused with all the brands saying, they are the best!

[@nmhansen]

They are all great but the last one, that comes in at about the 5:07 mark is really intriguing.

[@bonsaibro]

Beautyful

[@chinchoonpoon5325]

There is an old Chinese saying about majority of Stone collectors: Stones collection begins with the love of Landscape Stones and ends with loving of Landscape Stones. " 爱石者，始于山水石， 终于山水石。"

[@albertsanchez5794]

The Tamba-ishi stone speaks to me, the must.

[@BonsaiSociety]

It's one of my favorites too!

[@harrietb2141]

It’s Very hard to choose a stone,they are all amazing. But the third one that looks like a moonstone ,is Very interesting.

[@riskiwijaya7899]

👍👍👍

[@heartfullkitsune1213]

The one that is a in my mind looks like a lake under a cliff
