Japanese "Suiseki" Mountain View Scholar
s Stone / Elegant Mountain Scenery

Not only in China but also in Japan from ancient times, rocks in the mountains have been shaved and stones for viewing have been quarried.
Such stones for appreciation are collectively called "suiseki".

It is made with the image of a mountain view.
The flow of the river...
