8th and 15th November 2009
6th Suiseki Exhibition-Parade “
Castle of
Cusercoli ”
Castle of Cusercoli - (Forlì - Cesena)
Report of Mr. Carlo Laghi
|
On the two Sundays 8th and 15th November 2009 the 6th Suiseki Exhibition-Show has taken place, cared by the members of the Forlì Bonsai & Suiseki Club, six of whom are A.I.A.S. members, in the ambit of the annual “ Romagna White Precious Truffle Feast “.
|
|
This year two rooms have been reserved on two different levels because the usual premise with a bricks’ vault of the ex castle cellars was occupied by another exhibition. This opportunity has allowed us to stage the exhibition differently : we have thought that staging on the upper level bigger tokonoma with scrolls related to the various seasons, as example, either we or the public visitors could grow.
|
Furthermore the stones classified in the A.I.A.S. Congress in Lugano and other stones classified on previous years exhibitions in the castle which had not yet been, have now been presented.
|
On Saturday 14th November afternoon, Mr. Ulisse Maccaferri, our dearest friend, and also Board member of A.I.A.S. , has examined the stones in display and, following the Japanese standards, has selected the best landscapes, object and various categories stones such as : “Lost” of Mr. Primangelo Pondini, “Geisha” of Mr. Claudio Villa, “Dunes”, biseki of Mr. Primangelo Pondini, and mentioned “Monte Fuji”of Mr. Ettore Gardini and “The park’s guardian” multi display stand of Mr. Carlo Laghi.

|
|
The day has ended with “the legs under the table” and we consumed a very good “Romagnola” dinner at the “Pocina” restaurant, there were present, in addition to us, also two friends (one “romagnolo” and the other “parmense”; the diligent Mr. Pondini has started the construction of a daiza and, on seeing the great interest we expect, in a near and not far future, to include two new A.I.A.S. members.
|
|
Just for duty of chronicle, the public on Sunday November 8th had choosen “In the middle of the sea”, a landscape stone in a suiban of Mr. Danilo Pretolani.
|
I seize this opportunity to send him a warm thank-you from all of us as trustworthy driver of the Ape 50 tricar who has brought up to the castle the numerous boxes, small tables and what else, relieving, not a little, our strains.
