Hi Alex... In gardens with a waterfall, an exposed stone is often placed at the bottom to indicate a "Carp Approaching the Dragon Gate." It alludes to a scholar facing his final exam, where he can become a dragon through his own merit. Your stone could represent the "Leaping Carp."

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your input,i like what you've just observed..Interesting
Regardss & keep well,
Alex

Dear Ogie

Indeed a very good stone, with strong collour, and strong animalpictures....eagle and shi shi.
A very good idea to make two daiza...this way you also can exhibit the stone together with other objects, as the pctures points in each direction, very usefull.
Just do I not understand the longleged daiza, is this a tradition in your homecountry?, what do you call the daiza?.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi JLuis,
Thanks again for the picture as point of comparison


Hi Yvonne,
Thank you for the compliment,the daiza has no particular meaning,its just that my korean friend who makes most of my daiza wants to give a bit more height to make proportion pf the stone,maybe also a bit on korean taste also .By the way Yvonne whats a Shi Shi?

Your friend,
Alex/Ogie

Hi Ogie

Shi Shi is a guarddog, also called a liondog. In China a Shi Shi Foo. A protector of religion. You see theese dogstatues by the temples.....they come in pairs, one of each side of the entrances.
A female with a baby, and the male with a ball.

Very kind regards Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,

Thank you very much for the enlightenment,yeah i remember seeing those figure but always refer them as temple lion and forgot about the dogs Much appreciate it

Regards always,
Alex/Ogie

Yvonne, Alex,

we call them - Dog of Fu [ Foo ]
A plant nursery down here has a beautiful pair in carved white marble.

Enjoying the stones Alex, where do you keep them all ?
Stay well.

Hi Ogie

Your stone is quit scary...it looks like the second explosion of the Fukushima- ichi.

Kind regards Yvonne....maybe on another day, I could find a face in the stone

Hi Yvonne,
Didn't try to scare you,somtimes i see an old man wearing a Turban like those arabian in the dessert..

Thanks for the comment
