9th World Bonsai Convention 2021, Perth WA
In October next year, Perth WA is proud to be holding the 9th World Bonsai Convention 2021. This is the first time Australia has been bestowed the honour of playing host to this prestigious, internationally-renowned convention, which only occurs once every four years.
The “World Bonsai Friendship Federation” was established in Japan in the late 1970s, arising from the efforts and unity of the local bonsai community at the time, notably Saburo Kato, who formulated the principle “World Peace through Bonsai”. This noble precept is still upheld to this day and their values live on through the continued success of this ever-growing event. The inspiration behind the creation of the WBFF was a Bonsai Expo held during the 1970 World's Fair in Osaka, Japan. That Expo became the catalyst for the eventual formation of the WBFF and through sustained persistence from that core group of bonsai enthusiasts (including Haruo Kaneshiro, John Naka and Ted Tsukiyama) it has since continued to evolve and expand into various countries around the world such as China, America, Germany and Korea. Now it’s the Aussies’ turn!
