Suiseki is a general term for landscape stones, a traditional Japanese culture and hobby of finding the scenery of nature within a single stone. They are often displayed on pedestals and sometimes arranged with sand in a suiban (water basin). Along with bonsai, they are considered the pinnacle of natural art hobbies and are said to be the essence of Japanese aesthetic sense.
