🌟 International Spotlight on Philippine Talent 🌟
We are thrilled to share a feature from a Japanese Viewing Stone magazine, highlighting the Natural Stone Society of the Philippines members and our esteemed president, Tonet Gedang, at the 5th Balangay Festival Bonsai and Viewing Stone Competition.
Our efforts in promoting the art of natural stones, viewing stones, and suiseki are now gaining international recognition! Let's continue to excel, learn, and share our passion for this beautiful art form with the world. Keep up the great work, everyone!

LOOK: Pages from the official book of 9th Japan Suiseki Exhibition which was held at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
Features our very own "kaaya-ayang bato" displayed. The stone came from Agusal del Norte, Philippines.

Captioned:
"The rugged texture of this stone tells the true story of nature's creation. The severity of the stone is softened by the oval shaped doban, and combined with the hanging scroll and display stand, wonderfully express a Japanese kind of beauty.
