Look at a rock - can you see the shadow of a giant boulder or a mountain? That's Suiseki - nature's larger forms repeating themselves in miniature. Suiseki is a bit like Bonsai, except it features small rocks and pebbles rather than miniature trees. See the effects of nature and time on stone that has been shaped by wind and water, and learn how Suiseki's elegance, asymmetry and simplicity fit in smoothly with other spiritual aspects of Far Eastern culture, such as the tea ceremony.

This book will show you how to do this, including which is the best angle for viewing your finished piece.
