Private Collection
A
sandy red volcanic rock in an sweeping wave form, on top of which a netsuke sized
goddess in wood, standing on an intricately carved pedestal of swirling clouds
that wrapped around the jagged surface of the lava crust. Conjoining nature and
art, this suiseki view stone with minute details exemplified the peerless Japanese
aesthetic sensibility. From the inscriptions hidden in the goddess, we learned
that she is the Shinto deity Konohanasakuya Hime. The Princess Who Makes the Cherri
Blossom Bloom. Hence we can concluded that the suiseki stone is a Mount Fuji specimen
carved and mounted on cherry wood. Despite a few minor loses, this exquisite sculpture
is overall in very good conditions. It is signed Suzu Boku Toshiharu at the age
of seventy-nine years. The superb wood carving is signed Toshiharu, a recorded
artist carver found in the "Netsuke, MT Hindson Collection" by Neil
Davey.
