Suiseki from Viet Nam-- including

Greetings to admin and all members of Internet bonsai club.I'm from Viet Nam .It's my pleasure to join this forum.I hope to have your comments and supports and share with me my passion of this type of art..."stone"

Hi Pham... Thanks for sharing. Is the smaller stone placed in front of a larger & darker stone suggesting the form of a bamboo sprout? Are others suggestive as well as decorative?

Hi Chris...It's right,as you think.This piece of art "Alive sprout " is inspired from mascot(yoni and linga) which were worshiped by the Champa.

Hi Pham... If the "Alive Sprout Bamboo" stone is considered a Linga stone, your Yoni stone appears to dwarf it! The Yoni stone recalls the hood of a cobra separated from its small head/face for me. I could imagine mounting them together with the Alive Sprout Bamboo stone seating raised in height relative to the enveloping stone behind it.

Are bamboo sprouts typically associated with "male/ying/Linga energy?" It is an interesting layering of meaning for a "bamboo sprout" stone.

Are the stone seats displaying a mix of light & dark colored wood made of persimmon, ebony (Madagascar?), another natural wood or crafted by staining? Contrasting-tone persimmon is a very favored wood for some chanoyu "tea ceremony" utensils; it was a favorite of the late 17th century tea utensil collector Matsudiara Fumai, who is credited with categorizing original utensils by famed early masters separated from later treasured utensils.

I love the dual tones (in color) of persimmon as suggesting a dual universe with male & female energies-- light & dark. Western suiseki author Felix Rivera notes this dual tone quality for suiseki as notan (Japanese). Inyo (Japanese) is often referenced in text to refer to distinctions of light & dark as a metaphor for energy best known in the West as the Chinese yin/yang "male/female" principle. Out of the 2 principals & 5 materials springs the world of objects which is maya (Indian) "illusion."

Thanks to you Chris for your comment and suggestion.I have collected a new "Sprout" and think you will like it.
