Kamogawa Yamagata Ishi

$575

15 x 9 x 12 cm

In the Japanese suiseki world the blackness of a stone holds great weight, Kamogawa stones are particularly saught after because of their deep, cool black colour and smooth, almost unblemished texture.  This stone is a perfect example of such qualities, smooth to the touch and the colour is so deep you can almost dive in.  A completely natural stone and untouched by any tools, it sits beautifully in a well made red sandalwood daiza which features some ornate carving near the feet.  This is an elegant stone which does not need to shout, it is subtle and refined, perfect for those with an understanding of the Japanese aesthetic.
