The name Evening Bell is an atmospheric allusion to the sound of a large temple bell struck at dust and may be a reference to the Eight Views of the Xiang and Xiao Rivers, a common theme of painting and poetry from Chinese tradition. – From the exhibition label, Ice & Stone: Suiseki Viewing Stones from the Huntington & Hokkaido Photographs by Michael Kenna
