This is a natural stone called "Iwagata-ishi" collected at Aganoga River spanning the three prefectures of Niigata, Fukushima, and Gunma. Among the stones that represent the landscape of suiseki (water stones), there are categories called "shima-gata ishi" (island-shaped stones) and "iwagata ishi" (rock inlet stones). As the name suggests, shima-gata ishi are stones shaped like islands, while iwagata ishi are stones that evoke scenes of coastal inlets. Additionally, many iwagata ishi have textures that beautifully replicate rugged rock surfaces, making them well-suited for water trays. There are relatively many stones in this category that make it seem as if the rough, crashing waves are right in front of you. This iwagata ishi, collected from the Agano River, are beautiful rocks that stand like isolated islands in the sea. The Agano River is one of Japan's major rivers, spanning the three prefectures of Niigata, Fukushima, and Gunma, with an extensive basin and a long course.
