No two views are quite the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a uniform decorative stone, its appeal lies in these naturally occurring variations — small marks, lines and changes in color that reveal the geological character of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm brown waxed cord was chosen to complement these earthy tones without overwhelming the stone itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSekimori-ishi, or boundary stones, are traditionally used in Japanese gardens and tea gardens as a quiet indication that a path should not be entered. A simple tied stone becomes a subtle expression of boundary, restraint and intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside the garden, it can also be appreciated simply as a sculptural natural object — displayed on a shelf, low table, entryway or alongside ceramics and other collected pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 324 g (11.4 oz), this piece has a satisfying physical presence while remaining compact enough for an interior display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin of stone: Niigata, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\nStone: Natural stone containing foitite tourmaline\u003cbr\u003e\nCord: Waxed cord\u003cbr\u003e\nApprox. size: 10 × 9 cm \/ 3.9 × 3.5 in\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: approx. 324 g \/ 11.4 oz\u003cbr\u003e\nQuantity: One\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: Natural stone; one of a kind\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note:\u003cbr\u003e\nNatural variations, mineral markings, pits, fissures and uneven coloration are inherent characteristics of the stone and form part of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive the exact piece shown in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WabiSabi Kitchen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67598828372275,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/7130\/7827\/files\/Photoroom_20261003_193201.png?v=1791023592","url":"https:\/\/wabisabikitchen.net\/products\/japanese-sekimori-stone-niigata-foitite-41802","provider":"WabiSabi Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
