The appreciation of stones in Asia is one of several ancient art forms pursued by artists, poets, and other literati as they sought to lead a life of quiet contemplation, self education, and harmony with nature. The appreciation of stones as symbols and also as natural art objects began well over 1,000 years ago, and has continued uninterrupted. Today, an estimated four to five million people collect stones in modern China and this passion has spread to countries throughout the world.
VSANA serves as a center for people to study, learn, and promote Asian stone appreciation beginning with China where the practice originated. We are devoted to understanding Chinese and other Asian precepts and principles relating to all aspects of appreciating natural stones as artistic objects. VSANA will attempt to disseminate this information to English speaking audiences worldwide utilizing meetings, exhibits, lectures, and various electronic media including this web site.
An advisory board of experts and leaders is assisting VSANA in maintaining accurate, up-to-date information about Chinese stone appreciation and to promote traditional and modern views about these stones. Featured articles, book reviews, historical information, news about current events and exhibitions in China and other information will be published on our web site, and typically updated every month.
