Suiseki at Genko Kai exhibit

The Genko Kai exhibit at Hoshun-in Temple featured nearly as many stones as it did bonsai. Most evoked mountains – the rest took a variety of forms from figures to huts to islands. There was good diversity of color as some stones were as bright as others were dark.

As is the case with many suiseki, the character of the stone is often as interesting as the form. When both are intriguing, I find it easy to spend time appreciating these natural artifacts.
