Noh Dancer

Hello Sunip, "Winking Buddha"
in this one are categories;
SUGATA= HUMAN
MOYO= PATTERN
ISHI- STONE
in the Japanese Artistic Style
Desert= Sabaku, Vista= Keshiki, Ishi= Stone...

Hey! Sunip,
That stone would have gone well in "GOT HOLES?" thread!
I love easy, simplicity as you say,
this one I would name "scream",
one word names i think are the best...

On 28 febr. 2010 David Brunner had a post about a skull image stone,
here Chris came up with the story of the poet Ono no Komachi.
Thinking of the Japanese habit of naming stones sometimes more specific,
i could maybe name this stone after the poet Ono no Komachi?
Referring to the story where a passerby heard a poem coming from a skull lying on the ground.
The skull belonged to the poet, and the passerby took care of it.
If understood good i imagine, such a name leaves all space for further evocation?

Hi Sunip

I see a sad, slightly surpriced skull of an infant. It has the same hartbreaking expressin off mumies of infants found now and then.
The idea of a poetskull is nice. But this story would have needed a more mature skull.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hello Stonener.
But it is in that thread!
Thank you for your vision of the stone.
Hello Yvonne,
Thank you for the ability to see this stone through your eyes.
Sunip

Hello,
Flint figure stone.
I love this color on flints.
Sometimes i appreciate it as a young bird.
Sunip

Hey Sunip! What say you?
I think I found a Noh Dancer?
Was so moved by yours that I had it in the back of my mind!
While in the river, deep in the center, dark shinny deep green colored stone!
bent over to grab it and when head over heels, flipped over, heavy backpack.
panicked under water face up, cut off backpack with pocket knife, gasping for air!...
water rushing fast, floated down stream to near by bank, rested 30mins,
then went back for pack & stone seen!...
it's jade, river polished, 7x6x4"




Maybe Kabuki Dancer? or just lack of oxygen to my brain???

Hello Stonener,
I am impressed reading your story and i am sending you a stone bowing to that.
I love those jade stones, this one has a dancing quality,
however that dance did you do forget the strong spring current and took you almost to the other side?
Sunip

Yep! sure did almost, "the other side all right"...
I wonder what the stones there will look like.
no hurry to find out tho! I'm willing to wait.
Nice stone that dancing one of yours...
