Albert Herdianto Widjojo
I continued the challenge of this 365 Photos Challenge for the 59th day. If you would like to join in and challenge yourself to a photo a day, here are the rules and guidelines.
One of my hobbies is collecting Suiseki (Japan), Suseok (Korea) or Gongshi (China) also known as scholar’s rocks. This is one of my smallest suiseki collections in the iwagata-ishi category.
As I’ve put together in a quiz https://virily.com/virily_quiz/suiseki-quiz/ showing a stone from nature to a work of art is a special preoccupation.
If we have a lot of money we can get it easily by buying it but if we are a true fan, hunting suiseki and get it directly from nature is a great satisfaction. Some of the things we need to know to cultivate this hobby include understanding the philosophy of art, knowing where the beautiful stones can be found, understanding some technical things to present them correctly, understanding the various principles and categories of these suiseki, etc.
It’s just a stone, but with all its uniqueness, each collection has its own value and can be an expensive treasure. Are you interested?
This is awesome! I like collecting small stones and this art is amazing!
Thanks, Ellie. Amazing is the reason why I love them
I love this Albert, nature supplies us with some beautiful works of art and you displayed for us a fine form of art from nature.
Thank you very much, Kenneth. Nature is beautiful, and so many parts of nature gave us a chance to appreciate it in various ways and to be creative as well.
It is very unique, although this one is not the most beautiful
I saw a gongshi exhibit at the LACMA and thought of you
Thanks, brother. Waw… everything on display must be unique and beautiful. Is there a collection that impresses you?
It was quite small, only a half dozen pieces and some scroll paintings
Amazing piece of art you collect Albert. I am intrigued.
The details are magnificent.
Thanks, Carol. With our hobby, life is more fun to pass, right?
Absolutely, I am searching for a new one to replace my Dad’s business transactions and finance I took care of.
Wow! That seems an exciting challenge!
It’s good when you have a hobby. Your are special stones to which I will not remember the names. Hahaha
I have a lot of hobbies, and one of them is reading your comment, Elenka.
I love it,and it is interesting to look at.
Thanks a lot. Merely a hobby, LaJenna. But I really like it.
Okay, educate me a little on ‘suiseki” before I try a quiz, because I am in the dark.
Hahaha…. What do you want to know about suiseki, Trenna?
