Miniature Japanese trees, natural stone artwork and appreciation
The art form of bonsai captures the grandeur and beauty of nature on a reduced scale, producing miniature trees and plants. Similarly, naturally occurring and expressive stones that are categorized as suiseki are used to create landscapes like mountains and waterfalls. The Bonsai and Suiseki Exhibit has been a part of the Cherry Blossom Festival for many years, since almost its inception.
This display is the collaborative effort of a number of bonsai and suiseki clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area including Bonsai Society of San Francisco, Marin Bonsai Club, Yamato Bonsai Kai, and California Suiseki Society. The Bonsai and Suiseki exhibit will be held during the second festival weekend at the US Bank Community Room on the first floor of the Japan Center East Mall.
