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checking that my student was still taking his medication, I decided to email the guy to see if it had sold or been withdrawn.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.

DeleteHi Judy,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
