Friendly battle
I visited Mallorca at the beginning of
March, still very cold, but the welcome
and bonsai enthusiasm warmed me up. I
was there to be part of the new initiative
of Deyssa Sanchez and Rafael Torres with
their 'Inspira Bonsai' event. Their idea is to
bring various bonsai schools together for
a weekend to work on trees in a friendly
'battle'. Working under the guidance of
bonsai Masters Mauro Stemberger and
Bjorn Bjorholm in an amicable way is most
inspiring and motivating, too.
Inspiration is also at the root of the strange
concept of planting bonsai in a glass bulb.
Can it be seen as bonsai, or not? Difficult to
say, but whatever the answer, the integrity
of the creator, Takaaki Murase, allows all
objections to fly away. Takaaki has a very
delicate sense of beauty and because the
glass bulb trees need daily care, just like
'real bonsai', they connect us with nature.
Possibly weird, too, is Kunio Kobayashi's
use of a wooden box to encourage a very
famous old pine to recover from a period
of decay. He managed to use an effective
technique that he learned from his work
on Satsukis: that bonsai need sometimes a
small 'vacation' and to grow freely to gain
strength again.
When this magazine arrives on your
doormat, we will have just returned from
the World Bonsai Convention in Japan.
An amazing event, this I can already say
because all the best of the best will be put
on display and they will look spectacular.
However, during this event there will be an
even more exciting moment, because the
winner of the first Golden Concave award
will be presented with the trophy. We can
hardly wait. And of course, besides that, we
will give a full report of the whole event.
Meantime, for now, enjoy this new issue.
