suiseki is
an elegant art. It is a superb communication
between Humans and Nature. People often say 'The
falling of one leaf heralds the Autumn' (meaning a
small sign can indicate a great trend). It is the
same with suiseki. With one rock in your hand, you
would know thousands of years' history with great
changes. Appreciation of suiseki reflects one's
knowledge, intelligence and
self-cultivation.
Apart from
collecting traditional mountain-river rocks,
odd-shape rocks and all kinds of famous varieties,
you could also collect rocks with significant
memories, such as rocks you pick up from a special
trip and/or from your first dating with your lover.
Rocks are most reliable and most eternal. Whenever
you sit back and appreciate your own rock
collection, you are actually having a silent mutual
communication with Nature and your loved ones. No
wonder rock lovers often say 'Rocks can not talk,
but they communicate the best!'
In order to promote
this art, Bonsai Environment has especially
collected various kinds of rocks from Australia,
China and Japan, with the hope that its collection
would play the role of 'casting a brick to attract
jade'. Anyone with specific tastes is welcome for
professional chats and comparison.
