Shikoku Daiseki, Japanese Display Stone

The term Daiseki or Dai-ishi (台石) is used in Japan to describe relatively large stones with a flat top. These stones can be used to display decorations. Examples include Bonsai, Suiseki, Ikebana, small lanterns, and antique pieces. It is important here that the top of the Daiseki is horizontal. If the stone does not have a flat bottom, this can be achieved by using wooden wedges or by placing part of the stone in the ground.
