A hundred percent nature stone is just as really suiseki

Recently, I find that there are some of suiseki collector who collecting the stone which other people gave up, some of the shape stones are not completely, there are many and immethodical pattern, texture coarseness on it, not any value of appreciation. they cut, burnish these stones, make them completely, clear, contras.

These stones that no nature, it attracts some people who of lacking experience in the world, even their way have been agreed to many of people. Thereout I remembered of values of ancient ceramic collection, it should serve as an example for how to collect natural suiseki.

The beauty of suiseki, in its unique representation, hard texture, a lot of change in the stone was moving, its dignified, peace, as well as all things or nature, consist of the part of suiseki appreciation. Suiseki is not like jewelry, the material of jewelry is assure success by its quality, finally being art by machining to get high price. Also not like painting artistic product, painting art win victory with the humanistic value, it is rarely by its art and author's position in art throughout the ages.

Rarity of suiseki (or viewing stone) in completely nature, uncut, no man power working, even the best river stone didn't completely express the meaning of people, also not express as painting, not just like the color of photo to get natural imaging. People collect and appreciate these scholars rock, not only there is beautiful pattern on it, but it made the surprise, it occur by chance and nature, and make people to create dream on patterns and colors. To present the beauty of nature, the beauty of peace, the beauty of real thing, the beauty of past age, the beauty of oddity, all beauty form a lovely music. If we pay attention to the landscape, only just like hearing a great note when we enjoy music, it will be wearisome.

The suiseki that uncut and is not machined, purchase clear and complete pattern at the expense of nature, using modern technology enough, just like a beautiful women is made by man power, more loud surface and less interest. The essence of suiseki is victory by surprise, but they miss their appreciation by man power. Most of modern would like to live in county, return to nature, hope to add more natural sentiment, the natural suiskei just return its value, in our the time and environment.

The suiseki of artificial buffing is driven for their profit, it is not long time for appreciation, so we should be nature lover.
