Good News for Bonsai Art & Culture 2/21/14

A good example of the kind of results Cheng Cheng Kung gets with his Sidiao method. Hint: it’s the deadwood.

We just heard that Cheng Cheng Kung has confirmed to be one of the demonstrators at Robert Steven’s International Bonsai Art & Culture Biennal 2014. This is good news indeed for those of us who are planning on attending (here’s the registration form if you haven’t gotten around to it yet).

Just in case you don’t know Cheng Cheng Kung, here’s the short version: Mr Cheng is one of the most famous bonsai artists in the world and the creator of the Sidiao method (see above). We’ll feature more on him soon. Meanwhile here’s a post from exactly a year ago today that features one of his trees.

Stay posted here on Bark for more on this event, including the International Bonsai Biennale Photo Contest which Bonsai Bark and Stone Lantern will be sponsoring.
