More from GSBF Convention Exhibit

November 12, 2010 by Jonas Dupuich

The GSBF XXXIII Convention Exhibit included more stones than bonsai. The two ends of the exhibit hall were devoted to suiseki, and some of the stones were displayed in more formal arrangements. The composition below was created by Mas Nakajima.

Another suiseki display featured a large scroll and accent plant.

The remainder of the suiseki were displayed along the walls of the exhibit room.

In looking over my photos from the exhibit, one display caught my attention – the shimpaku-olive display below. While both are outstanding trees with very different characters, they happen to be very similar in height. Is this an issue here?

The exhibit also contained some great accents. One of my favorites hinted at the season.

Even the mini-slab on which the accent sits is well done – one of many details that helped make this such an enjoyable exhibit.
