Rocks for Bonsai
Rocks have always been an integral part of bonsai.
The Chinese incorporate a lot of rocks in their Penjing or landscape plantings and it is through that tradition that rocks have come to be used in bonsai today.
The Japanese, like the Chinese, also use rocks in their bonsai, but as with all Japanese aesthetics, their use is rather subtle and understated.
In Japanese bonsai, great use is made of the volcanic Ibigawa rock. This is a very distinctive type of rock, often carved and enhanced by dipping in acid to accentuate the interesting rock texture.
Here we are offering for the first time a variety of classic Ibigawa rock. Most of the pieces are from Peter's extensive collection which he has collected and acquired from his travels in Japan. Many have been used in his famous Chelsea Flower Show displays like the one shown here.
