Yoshimagawa stones are characterized by their bluish-black surfaces.　When taken care of for many years, they will give off a gentle, warm appearance. This stone is an example of a coastal rock stone, a type of suiseki that resemble cliffs by the coast side. While these types of stones usually give off a tall, precipitous impression, this specific stone gives off a more natural feel. It is a perfect example of the grace found in a Yoshimagawa stone.
