A new twist
We’ve reached the last issue of 2016, but I
am already looking forward to next year.
Exciting new things will happen, like the
World Bonsai Event (April 27-30) in Japan,
which promises to be an amazing, not to
be missed event. In response to this we
have initiated the Golden Concave (pliers)
Award. This is a very exciting new contest
because you can win a fully organised
tour to Japan and experience the World
Bonsai Convention in person. What do
you need to do? Send a photo of your best
bonsai via www.bonsaifocus.com/award.
Taiga Urushibata, Peter Warren and Ryan
Neil are our three great judges. They will
nominate the short list from the bonsai
trees submitted. Then it’s over to you, our
readers, to vote for the best tree. If you
go to our website you can read all the ins
and outs.
I always find it difficult to acquire the
right material for a Masterclass demo.
A yamadori, or a tree from Japan can be
stunning, but won't necessarily provide
an interesting story, or perhaps it isn’t
challenging enough for the Master — it’s
just too perfect. The best trees are often
those that don't initiate the instant wow
factor, they are rather like the famed Ugly
Duckling, because they can become a
beautiful swan in the hands of an artist.
If that happens I jump for joy and this
is just what happened with Bjorn again
last spring when we had him over to our
studio.
Bjorn Bjorholm has now become one of
the most in-demand bonsai artists who
travels all over the world showing his
skills. The Japanese yew (Taxus
cuspidata)
was supplied by Maarten van der Hoeven
of Bonsai Plaza. Just the right candidate
for Bjorn’s demo.
Bonsai is a very creative process and
Bjorn is a fine example of this. When,
after a short break, he returned to his
finished work in our studio, he decided
that he was not really satisfied and gave
the tree a whole new 'twist'.
Bonsai with a new twist seem to be the
very latest thing. During the recent US
National Bonsai Exhibition there were
some great new ideas. And in Jeff Barry's
report (see photo above) from Australia,
tradition and a new trendy approach
meld together very nicely.
Enjoy the read.
