Shizu wrapped stone

Traditional Japanese basket making techniques to transform rocks into art – art that invites quiet contemplation, peace and serenity. 

rattan or cane is used to wrap and tie the rocks with ornamental knots used in Japanese ikebana basketry. The stones are individually selected for shape, color and pattern. The knots are selected to complement the size and shape of the stone. The result is a fanciful, decorative piece that, projects a sense of peacefulness and tranquility.

Each stone represents hours of work, and should last a very long time if handled with care.
