Yesterday, Belgian Bonsai Association together with Eda Uchi Kai organized another combined club evening. This time we had the honour to listen to Edoardo Rossi from Italy and the topic was Kazari. After a good hour of theory our members worked together with Edoardo to setup good tokonomas with their trees, tables, sh*takusa and kakejiku. It was a pleasant and very interesting evening during which we learned a lot.

From 16 to 18 of October this year, block your agenda to visit the Sakka Ten Autumn Trees exhibition in Laarne, Belgium!

📌 SAVE THE DATE

Dal 16 al 18 ottobre, a Laarne (Belgio), nella splendida cornice del Bonsai Center Ginkgo, si terrà il Congresso Internazionale Sakka Ten Autumn Trees.

Un’edizione particolarmente significativa, dedicata alla memoria del Maestro Tomio Yamada, figura di riferimento e Presidente della casa madre Nippon Bonsai Sakka Kyookai, il cui insegnamento continua a vivere attraverso tutte le persone che lo hanno conosciuto e apprezzato.

A guidare questo importante momento di condivisione sarà un ospite d’onore d’eccezione, il Maestro Chiharu Imai, interprete sensibile ed elegante della visione Sakka, capace di tradurre in forma l’essenza più profonda della natura.

Tre giorni in cui l’autunno diventa linguaggio, il bonsai diventa racconto e la tradizione si rinnova attraverso lo sguardo internazionale di appassionati e professionisti.

📌 Seguiranno presto maggiori dettagli sul programma per un evento da vivere, prima ancora che da raccontare

On April 1, Bastian Busch from Bonsaiwerkstatt spoke during our bi-weekly club meeting about deciduous trees and how to best take care of our deciduous bonsai. In addition some beautiful bonsai were discussed to further deepen the topic.

Our annual program is nicely packed with presentations and demos from professionals around the world. In addition to that, once a month, like this past Wednesday, we work on our own trees under the professional guidance of Yannick Kiggen. As we have been doing this for years now, our bonsai are improving, maturing while new projects are started up the right way as well. Needless to say it's a lot of fun too.

Right after an already very exciting Trophy weekend, the 2 clubs Bonsai Association Belgium and Bonsai Club Eda Uchi Kai welcomed Shinji Suzuki, Hiroaki Suzuki, Manuel Turpin and Yannick Kiggen on their combined club evening. 2 trees were turned into spectacular future bonsai in just less than 2 hours. Our club members could watch this very closely and enjoy the show. It won’t get much better than this we’d say 😍

Last weekend, master Shinji Suzuki visited The Trophy 2026. With a special tree line up, 2 days of marvelous demonstrations and a very friendly engagement from the entire Suzuki team the left a memorable impression for the entire bonsai community in Europe.

What made us all very sad and angry was the theft of their valuable bonsai tools (see the pictures) out if their car when they visited Amsterdam on Tuesday this week 😢😤. We all know how important these are for a bonsai artist. While chances are close to zero anything will ever pop up again, we did not want to leave the opportunity unused to highlight this. If you’re being offerend a complete set like this, don’t buy it.
