jtroth > Fuji-san; W 12" x D 7" x H 6"; Clear Creek Every Japanese suiseki collector dreams of finding a stone that resembles Mt. Fuji, which represents the classic mountain form. This stone is a nearly perfect suiseki. The material is a good medium hard stone (probably serpentine) with beautiful color and a rich patina. The peak is well defined and comes slightly towards the front, and the stone has good balance and shape in all three dimensions. The two ends come slightly forward, embracing the viewer, and the back is nicely rounded. Though the peak is nearly centered, the difference in slope and visual mass between the right and left introduce enough asymmetry for balance. This is an elegant, quiet, stone. It does not have strong colors, texture or movement. A refined and elegant daiza suits it well. Notice the three legs. Each leg is positioned to seem to support the main visual masses of the stone, and the size and shape of each is different. The middle leg is essentially two legs merged together.
