Hell ya dude put your heart into it. I’ve been collecting rocks for years. Love to see a culture of not only collection but also appreciation and display.
Probably it's my limit, but I will never understand how a rock, together with an object and a scroll, can integrate and define a story or meaning in a part of the house dedicated to a tokonoma "little theater" with a stage, where it often finds a place together with a potted plant. I admire bonsai but I have always perceived the rest as grotesque. Even the stones "polished" by hand with sebum to make them shiny, culture and customs very distant and questionable. In the textbooks they talk about specific and restrictive measures and rules regarding plant styles, then you put a piece of rock next to it that reminds you of the genesis of the universe... or whatever you see in it. also Shitakusa or Kusamono that are only distractions from the potted plant you want to show/admire. very questionable and subjective things, the whole thing becomes contradictory and grotesque. Like some vietnamese pots, too decorated and rich in details, which distract attention from the plant
