Dear Yvonne,
Thanks for your sharing and this is another stone from Donggiang river. Give me your thought, please.

Dear Thientrakieu

This stone is better, it looks a lot like a stone I found in the alps ( only the shape)
I made a small silk-pillow, filled with sand, for it, to rest on.
Do your stone have a resent knock-off on the right side?...it looks like that on the photo, if it has, it would not be a stone, I would keep in my house.

Kind regards Yvonne

Dear Yvonne Graubaek,
You're right. What a pity! It has a resent knock-off on the right. This is another stone. I hope I will receive the comments from alls. Thanks a lot.
Kind regard Thientrakieu.

Dear Thientrakieu

This stone brought a smile to my face....It looks like the smallest member of the " Simpson family" has its photo on it.

Dear Yvonne Graubaek
I don't know anything about " Simpson family". Is it a novel, a movie, a cartoon or a series? Can you show me the photo of the smallest member of the " simpson family"? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards Thientrakieu.

Hi Thientrakieu

Her name is Maggie Simpson.....the cartoon is called "the Simpsons" and is very famous in the western world.
I hope you one day will have it in your country.

Dear Yvonne Graubaek.
I see a Japanese woman in her kimono but I'm not sure.

The image in the stone also reminds me of an old tree.

Hi, it's very nice stone.I think it might be a Tora-ishi (stone tiger skin pattern).

Kind regards Milan

Hi Thientrakieu... Your stone's wood seat might be fine for your viewing stone community. For a Japanese-style landscape-view daiza, the interior wall would preferably be at the same width (also usually at the same height) all-the-way around the stone, and the feet are usually tucked vertically under the stone's outside edge or, alternatively, at least not more than two very narrow wall widths (the width of two narrow beads) beyond it. An exception might be the "Chinese platform" style daiza for old Furuya-ishi stones as noted by Jesus Quintas in his Q-seki text.

Extending the daiza far beyond the supported stone's outside edge makes the daiza more visually massive than necessary. For Japanese-style landscape stones, a minimal daiza is preferred-- only barely thick-enough to suggest that the stone's bottom is natural & reduced enough to support the stones outside edge from below the stone (not beyond it).

Also, Japanese-style daiza typically include feet under the extreme ends (left & right) of landscape stones where they meet the daiza. The landscape stone's ends should be visually supported under stone's edge, through the daiza wall & its foot wherever a landscape ridge is imagined (& also where necessary for support). The feet at each end point mostly right or left in the direction of the stone's movement, which can be visually stronger when the stones ends move slightly toward the front. I wish that description was clearer. Perhaps, Peterbrod or Milan will add clarity.

If your daiza has more than two feet on its front side, they should not be placed symmetrically with equal spacing between feet. Feet of equal width make the daiza seem lighter and are common for suiseki.

Hope that helps. You obviously have great skill in a close fitting, which is always noticed & appreciated!

it's a different style dai, tolerate such portrayal, bothers me that the stone feet held to the ever-recurring round arch, causing prominence dai, a lot of wood, when viewed from the side to hide the extreme foot

Hi Chris Cochrane.
Many thanks for your help. In my village, there is only a carpenter who makes the wood seats. He makes wood seats for all the Suiseki collectors so we have the same kinds of wood seats. Hundreds of my stones were made like this so it's difficult for me to repair them. If I have a new stone I will persuade him to make the wood seats
according to the Japanese-style landscape-view daiza.

Hi Peterbrod.
Thank you very much for your help.I hope I will persuade the carpenter to make the wood seats like your dai.
