Among all suiseki, the waterfall stone captivates many people. This product was inherited from a Japanese collector, and in addition to its size, it is a very impressive piece. Perhaps the greatest attraction of this stone is that the waterfall part is not solid white. Because unlike the usual waterfall stones, it has a yellow tinge, it can appear gold depending on how the light hits it, creating an even more majestic atmosphere. Waterfall stones like this are rarely offered by collectors, so this could be considered a real gem. In Japan, it is said that even an encounter with a stone is a kind of destiny. I would like to give this stone to someone who sees it and feels a deep connection with its appearance. Size: H 19.8cm W 22.8cm D 12.7cm Weight 4220g (including base) The wooden base has deteriorated over time. There is no problem with placing stones on it, but if this bothers you please refrain from bidding. About Takiishi: Takiishi (waterfall stone) is one category of suiseki. As the name suggests, takiishi are water stones with quartz and limestone intrusions within the stone that resemble a waterfall. The shape of the waterfall can vary from a single, neat waterfall to a spectacular series of waterfalls or complex, branching waterfalls. As for the waterfall part of takiishi, those where the waterfall goes all the way around the stone are called hachimaki (headband) or fundoshi (loincloth), and are said to be almost worthless.
