Eight years have elapsed since when we, members of the Forlì Bonsai Club, decided to organize an exhibition entirely dedicated to Suiseki.
The exhibition , programmed on calendar towards the end of the year , aimed to summarize the action of its members in the suiseki field, tanks to the help of the “Pro Loco Chiusa D’Ercole” whom put at disposal the premises just restored up to the Cusercoli Castle.
As dates we choosed the two November Sundays riserve to the local “Feast of the white vintage truffle of Romagna”; this event really attracted many people who did not know at all what Suiseki was.

|
So the spreading of this art started and together to it also our experience and knowledge. The new findings allowed the public to examine always new stones . In the last years we have improved the organizing and divulgative aspect : we have changed the expository rooms, the television with the video cassette recorder has given place to the computer and to a pen-drive of a few centimeters with a much higher content.
The scrolls with paintings , the haiku , the judgements of a friend on the exhibition are recent things .
The advertising posters are a novelty of this year : as can be seen from the photos , they are a summary of all stones exhibited in all these years. With an acceptable cost they have solved our advertising problems in our town , people at once realize what are Suiseki and they come up with more enthusiasm .

The premises of the exhibition : the fittings.

This year , in addition to Mr. Ulisse and Mrs. Marzia Maccaferri also Mr. Claudio and Mrs. Cristina Nuti, have visited us, and all together we and them , have spent two days of chattering, of plans for the future and also of libations.
Let us come to the stones in exhibition : the 24 stones have been examined by Ulisse as judge, but the attendance of Claudio has allowed u sto ask him a disinterested judgement , which has roughly reflected that of Ulisse.

The difficult task of the examinators
|
|
As best stones have been chosen :
“Far away summits”, landscape stone of Mr. Carlo Laghi
“The dragon”, object stone of Mr. Attilio Valdifiori (stone voted also by the public)
“Oriental visions” , multi stand of Mr. Claudio Villa.
Mentioned “Promise of life” object stone of Mr. Ettore Gardini and “Signs of violent wind” , landscape stone of Mr. Claudio Villa.
The evening was concluded, as always, with legs under the table in the restaurant riserve to us, “ The Picina”, excellent the menù proposed to us.
Next year….. will surely see some further novelties.
