The Waterfall stone<br />

Stone Landscape


There are 3 types of comparison we can see <strong>in</strong> the stone, a young, old and empty waterfall:<br />

The young waterfall is usually represented with the limestone (white) on the stone that presents<br />

itself at the usual level of it.<br />

Old waterfall, it is carved <strong>in</strong>to the rock, from the idea of hundreds of years that water works the<br />

rock.


Empty waterfall, the oldest, harder to understand, the water dug <strong>in</strong>to the rock, then stopped com<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Obviously, the more the cascade falls down, the more it moves, the better it is, then if it has<br />

branches and is recessed, it makes the representation more real.


The suiseki must represent what <strong>in</strong> Nature exists, so a cascad<strong>in</strong>g stone often represented by<br />

limestone (white), CAN NOT go beyond the top of the stone, the possibility that a waterfall arrives<br />

from the top of a mounta<strong>in</strong> (mounta<strong>in</strong>) is given by a natural situation, as it could be snow, melt<strong>in</strong>g<br />

ice.<br />

Here are some examples I found of stones represent<strong>in</strong>g a waterfall,


Some comparison between stone and nature.
