I love Suiseki stones the same way I love creating bonsai. By some way they both bring peace to my soul. The difference is that we give shape to bonsai, but stones have been shaped by nature for millions and millions of years here in planet Earth. The hard part is finding that special stone that represents something in nature, in a small scale. But the difficulty of finding that special stone is what makes this art fun. Just like bonsai, suiseki stones are a small-scale representation of something big. And that is why they can go together in the same composition. Suiseki art, just like bonsai, was originated in Japan hundreds of years ago, and has refined with the years. I have been appreciating and collecting these stones now for several years. You may say that I am crazy, but I can sit in a chair for hours just looking at my collection. We can find them in the form of mountains, human figures, animals, waterfalls, islands, landscapes, lakes and more. And we find them in beaches, rivers and in rocky terrain. In this book I want to show you my entire suiseki stones collection, where I give names to some of them, and in some cases I try to explain what I see in them with a brief story. But you may see other things different than me because this is an appreciation art. Some of the suiseki compositions in this book may include bonsai. All stones presented in this book were found by me in the island of Puerto Rico, country where I live. A part of the title mentions the Caribbean because Puerto Rico is located at the Caribbean Sea. All images in this book are in black and white for artistic purposes. I just hope that you enjoy what you will see in this book and that it encourages you to start your own suiseki collection soon.

Chrysanthemum stones are so called due to their unique mineral formations that resemble chrysanthemum flowers. A rarity in nature, they are found primarily in East Asia, where they have been admired for nearly three centuries; they are now are achieving notice among Western collectors, and recently have been found in the United States. Chrysanthemum Stones is the first comprehensive presentation of these extraordinarily beautiful stones, and sets a new standard for books relating to the art of stone appreciation that has flourished in Asia for over 2,000 years. The authors traveled extensively in China and Japan to bring historical information together with new data, which is generously illustrated with over 120 full-color photographs. Readers are shown the full range of chrysanthemum stones, from the rarest and most valuable to those more frequently encountered in the marketplace, and are provided the most complete set of published references to chrysanthemum stones available.

In this luxurious cloth bound hardcover with glossy slipcase, renowned botanical photographer Jonathan Singer presents his breathtaking images of the world's most notable bonsai. In Fine Bonsai: Art & Nature, the finest extant achievements in the art of bonsai are seen together for the first time, through the lens of renowned botanical photographer Jonathan Singer. This magnificent volume is the result of an extensive photographic campaign, in the course of which Singer was granted unprecedented access to the most respected public and private collections in Japan and the United States, including the mecca of bonsai, the Omiya Bonsai Village of Saitama, Japan, where photography is normally prohibited. Three hundred stunning full-page images and four lavish gatefolds present bonsai of all types, from quiet representations of nature to bold sculptural forms. The horticultural and aesthetic characteristics of each bonsai are concisely and authoritatively described in the narrative captions by William Valavanis, head of the International Bonsai Arboretum in Rochester, New York. And because the container is considered an integral part of any bonsai—indeed, the literal meaning of “bonsai” is “tray plant”—the book also includes some twenty-five photographs of traditional bonsai containers, with descriptions. A further sequence of twenty-five photographs is devoted to the related art of suiseki, or miniature stone landscapes displayed in the same manner, and often alongside, bonsai. With his groundbreaking first book, Botanica Magnifica, Jonathan Singer established a new style of botanical photography, characterized by an exceptional clarity of detail and richness of color, as well as a painterly chiaroscuro. These qualities are just as evident in the present volume; Singer photographs each bonsai with an artist’s—one might even say a portraitist’s—eye. Whereas most books on bonsai aim to instruct readers on techniques of care and cultivation, Singer’s book takes the reader on a visual journey. His images encompass many different species, from azalea to red maple, as well as a variety of blossoms and fruits. Alluring and serene, Singer's photographs make the experience of leafing through Bonsai not unlike entering a real Japanese garden. Fine Bonsai: Art & Nature not only documents the masterpieces of an ancient horticultural art, but is a masterpiece in itself. A portion of the proceeds of this book will benefit the Japanese Red Cross.
