History / Description [NO RESERVE PRICE] A compact and visually striking Japanese suiseki-style viewing stone, presented in the iconic form of Mount Fuji. This piece features a deep black body with scattered natural-looking white mineral inclusions, creating a beautiful contrast reminiscent of “Yama-yuki” — mountain snow — or a quiet image of Kuro-Fuji, Black Mount Fuji, seen under a winter night sky. The stone is described as Yojuro-ishi / 与十郎石, a name associated with Japanese viewing stones appreciated for their dark colour, mineral patterning, and mountain-like expression. Its low and elegant silhouette, together with the fitted wooden daiza, gives the piece a strong visual presence despite its small size. This viewing stone can be displayed in a tokonoma, study, bonsai setting, tea room, or refined interior collection. It is especially suitable for collectors who appreciate Japanese natural art, miniature landscapes, wabi-sabi aesthetics, and traditional display objects. Condition The stone shows natural irregularities, mineral inclusions, small surface marks, scratches, age-related wear, and signs of previous display and handling. The surface has a smooth, glossy appearance. As is common with many old viewing stones, the stone may have been polished or prepared for display. Please check the photos carefully for details. The wooden daiza is custom-fitted to the stone and provides stable support. It shows minor wear, scratches, and signs of age from previous display use.
