Tête-à-tête

May 6, 2014 by Jonas Dupuich

A seated figure, or figures, arranged face to face. Such a suggestion came to this stone’s owner and the idea stuck, earning it the name, “Chat.” Chat was recently on display along with scores of other impressive suiseki at a historical event held in Tokyo this past February. Details to follow.

    I hope you got a shot of the display of the kabuki performer, performing under the pines with Mt. Fuji in the back ground.

    Clearly this is an artistic representation of the first public use of a Kindle Tablet.
