About us
The international association Nippon Bonsai Sakka Kyookai Europe was created by Nippon Bonsai Sakka Kyookai Japan in response to the request of Master Hideo Suzuki, who was able to identify the right partners, in Europe, to spread the ancient traditions of the Japanese culture regarding bonsai. The Association was officially established on November 2000, during the “Aki Ten” event promoted by Bonsai Club Brixen in Bressanone, which was in the presence of the Casa Madre President Master Tomio Yamada and Master Hideo Suzuki. Only those who share our goals can be part of the association.
Given that we Occidental people have trouble understanding many of the aspects of bonsai without studying its cultural background, the Association will organize some activities concerning not only cultivation techniques but also the exposition of bonsai and suiseki in a tokonoma as well as the study of calligraphy, tea ceremony, ceramics etc.
The Association has an educational purpose therefore any form of competition is prohibited.
