Stone of the Month: October 2016"Land of Morning Freshness"
This Korean native stone from the Han River combines ancient Kwaesuk qualities of strange compelling texture with contemporary suiseki-style landscape form. The very delicate embedded pattern of fine white lines is especially prized by Korean collectors. The many depredations of war and incursion throughout Korean history, and continuing into modern times, have obscured the continuity, provenance and historical inventory of Korean stone collecting. This stone is 30 cm wide, 14 cm high, and 13 cm deep and is owned by Don and Chung Kruger.
