Viewing Stones: A Cultivated Art


Exhibits Gallery, National Bonsai & Penjing Museum

Chinese and Japanese scholars have appreciated stones for centuries. They were said to "cultivate" themselves through stone appreciation. Modern enthusiasts reinvigorate these traditions by exhibiting landscape-view and nature-related stones. Adding to the synergy of modern viewing stone practice, this exhibit of PVSG member stones suggests changes and challenges in stone appreciation.
