"The Nippon Suiseki Association, founded in May 1961, held the first Nippon Suiseki Meihinten Exhibition in July that same year.
Since 2009, thanks to Jeff Amas's photographic and commentary work, the Internet Bonsai Association publishes a large account of the stones on display.
In 2010, the Nippon Suiseki Association celebrated the 50th Meihinten Exhibition by exhibiting the best Meiseki of its members. During the event, Mr. Matsuura was able to announce his withdrawal from the Presidency (Chairman of the Association) after over 20 years of active presence, accepting the role of Honorary Vice President and proposing to remain active in the Association "

Chris Cochrane:
Jeff Amas sends photos of the 57th Nippon Suiseki Meihinten mounted at the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo earlier this month.
Jeff Amas wrote:”... this year people are taking more risks with the display in terms of colors and surfaces. In the books... (Japan Suiseki Exhibition books of exhibitions at Tokyo's Metropolitan Museum/CMC)... suiseki have just been placed against a neutral white background. While this allows us to just concentrate on the stone itself it doesn't show us how the owner may in fact present the stone. I think this actually quite an interesting talking point. Certainly the aesthetic response is quite different in each case.”
The AIAS is grateful to his friend and supporter, Chris Cochrane, and the generous contribution of Jeff Amas, through which every year we can draw information and teaching to expand the understanding of this Art that we love so much.
