Theme: “The creation and use of calligraphy combined with the tokonoma’s traditional bonsai arrangement”

In Japan the creation of a bonsai in a tokonoma is considered a form of art.
The exhibitor will prepare the arrangement in order to transfer his own feelings to the observer and, to achieve this, he will use some elements that will emphasize the bonsai’s beauty and instruct on the atmosphere he wants to evoke.

In order to achieve an harmonious result it’s necessary for the optical weighs, the shapes and the distances of the various elements to be absolutely balanced.
As it is easily imagined a good level in an exhibition like this is achievable thanks to great experience and sensibility.
During the demonstration the Bonsai Master Tomio Yamada and the Shodo Master Norio Nagayama will cooperate to achieve a classic style arrangement.
Master Yamada will prepare an arrangement using a bonsai accompanied by an herbaceous plant or a suiseki and Master Nagayama will interpret his thought by creating a calligraphic work that will harmonize with the other elements of the arrangement, increasing its expressive effect.
Through the matching of different calligraphic examples the masters will direct the audience through the understanding of the elements that provide the arrangement’s right balance.
This kind of demonstration will be accomplished for the first time in front of an audience during a conference.
