Japanese Kikkaseki Chrysanthemum Stone Neodani Gifu Suiseki Bonsai SS214
A. Introduction Discover a unique variation of the "flower that never fades." This is a genuine Neodani "Tamakikka" (Jewel/Ball Chrysanthemum Stone). Unlike typical open blooms, this Suiseki captures the condensed energy of a flower bud or core, preserving the eternal beauty of nature in a solid form.
B. Features & Cultural Context
-
The Neodani Legacy: Sourced from the Neo Valley in Gifu Prefecture, the most prestigious site for Chrysanthemum stones. As mining is now strictly prohibited, authentic stones from this region are rare collectibles.
-
Tamakikka Style: This specimen is classified as "Tamakikka" or "Tsubomi-ishi" (Bud Stone). It features a crystallized mineral core that resembles a flower bud waiting to bloom, rather than radial petals.
-
Natural Contrast: The pinkish-white crystalline core stands out beautifully against the rugged, reddish-brown matrix, offering a powerful and rustic aesthetic.
C. Usage & Decor Ideas
-
Zen Display: Perfect for a Tokonoma (alcove) or desk, bringing the stillness of a Japanese rock garden indoors.
