are small naturally occurring or shaped rocks which are traditionally appreciated. They are similar to Chinese scholar's rocks.〔Cousins, Craig. (2006). ( ''Bonsai Master Class,'' p. 244 ).〕 ==History== Chinese scholar's rocks influenced the development of ''suiseki'' in Japan.〔Brokaw, Charles. (2011). ( ''The Temple Mount Code,'' p. 73 ).〕 The history of ''suiseki'' in Japan begins during the reign of Empress Suiko. The small objects were brought to Japan as gifts from the Chinese Imperial court.〔Corvello, Vincent T. and Yūji Yoshimura. (1996). (''The Japanese Art of Stone Appreciation: Suiseki and Its Use With Bonsai,'' p. 17 ).〕 ''Suiseki'' are usually presented in two different ways: *The stone is provided with a wooden base (Daiza). *The stone is placed in a waterproof tray or bowl of ceramic (suiban) or bronze (Doban). These stones are not just any stones which can be found in nature; they must be expressive stones and have a special shape, color and texture to be categorized as ''suiseki''. There is a distinction between landscape and object stones. The former reflect landscapes such as mountains, lakes or rivers, while other stones have object shapes that resemble animals or sculptures. The stones are of natural origin and are found in rivers, oceans and karst areas. They are not allowed to be reshaped. An exception is the cutting of stones to have a flat base so they can be placed in harmony on Daiza, suiban and Doban, to be represented in a proper way. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「suiseki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
