I discovered the fascinating world of beautiful stones during my frequent visits to China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Indonesia. The stones became part of my life. Till today this fascination holds its original attraction for me.
The involvement in the Suiseki art is of utmost value to me because of the physical and mental relaxation in today’s hectic times. I like Japanese suiseki and Chinese shangshi alike. Both are wonders of nature and give evidence of its beauty.
