The appointment with Bonsai World, organized by the Gonzaga Bonsai Club, gathers the enthusiasts of plants and stones : Clubs and Associations of half Italy are invited. Also various sellers of pots, plants, stones, and specific tools were present.
For us of the A.I.A.S., a get together where members speak, discuss and compare each other without the worry of the awards , in friendship as the Maremmano , now international nickname of the member Mr. Carlo Maria Galli, says.
With great surprise , just arriving on Friday night, I have met Mr. Francesco Artifoni , A.I.A.S. member of some year ago who had displayed an interesting collection of Katane (Japanese swords) .
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
He has told us about all the manufacturing process of the swords, of the metal fusion, to the forging, the sharpening, the polishing and to the different blessings of the various stages. The blades have an impressive edge. |

As last year Mrs. Sonia was also present with her Japanese dolls , also she has explained the various dolls and their meaning : on seeing the whole it seemed a small court with the Emperor and wife.
Remarkable the silks and the colours of kimono in exhibition.

From its establishment the event offers to the exhibitors the food : the specialities of the territory have been offered , the whole washed down with a very good Lambrusco red sparkling wine.
And it will be due to this very good light wine ….. but it seemed to us that a very known personality had intervened !

The moment of the ….. libations!

A dutiful thank to Mrs. Laura Redini and to all her Club for the very nice welcome.
A wish of prompt recovery to Chiara , member of the organizing Club, and good-bye to next year.
