It's Japanese obviously and it stands for "Mountain stream".

It's s(tr)eems as so many things in Japan also this is something sacret and worth worshipping as a house interiour art form. It likely will have a simmular unexlainable double wabi sabi meaning same as Wabi Kusa etc. etc. And it's kinda approached in similar fashion for example the Iwagumi - grouping of rocks plays a major role..

But this infectious flu yet realy didn't reach Europe and i realy wonder why. Searching for it only reveales a real mountain stream or some kind of brand fly fishing rod named like this.

But in certain scenes in Japan it s(tr)eems to be a popular as (Coffee) table decoration or just as a planted setup in the room or even saw complete build vivariums in this style and all contained a loud splashing fast flowing mountain stream as centre focal point..

Integrated into the coffee table

As Paludarium setup it even could hold some stream dwelling critters e.g a few small Gobies would fit right in.
