A one-of-a-kind Japanese stone sculpture combining naturally formed Seta River suiseki stone with delicate seima hemp fiber.
The dark, rugged stone is wrapped with pale, natural hemp fibers that rise gently before falling in a soft, flowing curve.
The contrast between the solid weight of the stone and the lightness of the fibers creates a quiet, sculptural composition.
Seima (精麻) is a traditional Japanese material made from refined hemp bast fiber. Its distinctive texture and natural luster have long been appreciated in Japanese cultural and ceremonial contexts.
Inspired by sekimori ishi, the traditional tied stones used in Japanese gardens to indicate a closed pathway, this piece reinterprets the concept as a contemporary decorative object.
Its understated form brings a sense of balance and organic beauty to a minimalist interior, bookshelf, console, or curated collection.
Each piece is individually assembled using a naturally formed stone, making every object unique.
