3-1. Good Cut Stone

If you cut this stone, it is like cropping a photo - you focus on a particular view and remove all the distracting elements. The resulting suiseki has very good shape, following the classical suiseki rules of "Sanmen no hou" or the Rule of Three Dimensions, with good balance in all three dimensions.
