A new stone found its way into my collection…

Stone and daiza

Doha-Ishi? Doha-ishi-6
Detail on the right side

The origin of this stone is Japan. Width: +/- 19,5 cm. Depth: +/- 4,5 cm. Height: +/- 3 cm.

Hard to put this stone in a suiseki classification, but personally I am thinking of a slope stone or doha-ishi. It suggests the rolling hills of a plain or a slope. Last picture shows a nice detail on the right side. I don’t know who made this dai, but he/she did a good job. It fits like a glove.

Kind regards from Belgium,

Hans

Hi Hans,

Nice suiseki.I think that the stone is a coastal area - Iwagata-ishi.

Best regards Milan.

Hi Hans... I would recommend allowing the viewer to see what they wish in the landscape view stone. If you must have a Japanese classification, Milan & Yvonne offer a reasonable suggestion-- especially, I like Yvonne's suggestion of a distant coastline. Because the stone is low, it is arguably more an isogata-ishi ("shore stone") or more specifically araiso or araiso-ishi ("reef stone" with rocky shoals) that water flows over more than an iwagata-ishi ("coastal rock") that waves break against because of its high wall. This is probably Milan's impression of the coastal feature, too.

Hi Bugeye... Please read the IBC Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) pinned as a sticky at the top of Announcements forum. IBC forums are not an exchange for buying, selling or trading items. It is best not to even tease about buying, selling or trading... and I appreciate you might have been speaking in appreciation rather than actually bargaining. Do not offer BUYING, SELLING or TRADING on forums for discussion, again. Members can contact other members, privately, using the personal messaging system; those conversations are private and would only be a problem if the recipient complained. The IBC Stone Forum/Gallery is for stone discussion.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for your explanation Chris. It sounds logical to me...

One more question; this isogawa-ishi, shouldn't that have to be isogata-ishi?

Right, Hans!!! Thanks for the great catch. Gawa is "river," whereas gata is "shape, form." Isogata-ishi is correct for the "Shore Stone."

To preclude someone not recognizing my mis-keying, I will change it in the original post.

HI Chris

It is not apropriate to alter words, in a reply, just because you a a moderator.....Please just leave it as it Is. It is OK for other people to know you are not perfect. Just relax.

Kind regards Yvonne

Don't worry, Yvonne, I noted the change in the edit and would do the same for anyone that asked... and have. In cases where they preferred I didn't note the change, I have followed the writer's preference where our archives can be improved. I am trying to help people learn, though I realize it is nearly impossible for a few.

Sorry, was it not his own post that Chris altered? In that case his alteration of the word was perfectly acceptable, and was done as a member and poster, not as a moderator. I frequently alter my posts if I think anything has caused confusion or if I have mis-spelled a word. I can't see any difference with what Chris has done, especially when he has outlined the precise reason for doing so.

Hi Fiona

I understand what you are saying....I just thought, Hans said the words, and that was enough.
I can understand from your words, everybody kan change, everything they say. I may want to use this from time to time in the future, but it could make the next reply hard to understand, and so on.

In that light my reply to Chris was not right....but not long ago, he gave me hes topic, and did not remove or change it, even when I asked.

Kind regards Yvonne
