Seigaku Ishi.

Well as if buying a new Dougie Mudd stand was not enough, two days later I took delivery of a new Japanese suiseki courtesy of David Goscinski in the USA.

One of my students had told me they had seen a really nice SEIGAKU ISHI for sale on a site and wondered if I had seen it. Well of course when I looked it was no where to be seen. So after checking that my student was still taking his medication, I decided to email the guy to see if it had sold or been withdrawn. I was pleased to find that the stone was still available and decided to purchase it.
The guy who had the stone for sale was was David Goscinski, and what a pleasure to do business with he turned out to be. I would certainly buy from him again. Many thanks David.

    Hi Judy,
    I have no idea who made the Kiri box.
    The history of the stone is that it was imported to the UK by Dave Sampson, who sells suiseki. He is a top guy and you can contact him on ; david@djsampson.com
    Dave Sampson sold the suiseki to David Goscinski in the USA and I purchased the stone from him. So the stone is well travelled. Japan to UK. UK to USA. USA to UK.
