Dear AKI TEN 2025 visitors,
The Bonsaiclub Brixen is once again highly motivated to fill AKI TEN 5.0 with beautiful bonsais and offer a high-quality supporting program.
Many friends from all over Europe are already excited to present their bonsai rarities. With Andrés Álvarez Iglesias from Spain, we have secured one of the best European bonsai collectors, who is known for having one of the most beautiful bonsai collections in Spain. He is an enthusiastic designer and an excellent bonsai caretaker. Furthermore, this year we have decided to highlight the topic of Shohin a bit more. With Francesco Forno, one of Italy’s most successful Shohin experts, we will have a distinguished guest at our exhibition. He will lecture on the quality and care of Shohin and demonstrate how to create a perfect Shohin display.
With the organization of the fourth Ceramic-Contest, we aim to provide a framework for bonsai ceramics, showcasing creatively designed bonsai containers. We are already looking forward to admiring the extraordinary pots from 2023, planted, in the special show.
This year, we will have the pleasure of welcoming Sami Amdouni, a ceramic artist from France, who will introduce us to the ceramic engraving of special Shohin bonsai pots.
Our founding member, Auer Othmar from Brixen, will also explain the demonstration "Vase seeks plant," where he will explain the requirements that a pot or ceramic has for a plant.
A highlight will be our special exhibition on the theme of "Tenpai and Kusamono." Here, we will present extraordinary sculptures and plants, where humans and nature, as well as the environment and time, have created something truly unique.
With our small but carefully selected dealer circuit, we will present a selection of bonsais, modern and classic bonsai ceramics, bonsai tables, and all necessary accessories.
Our Bonsai Party at the Gourmet Hotel Elephant in Brixen has now become a must for every connoisseur.
Our goal is once again to provide all friends and enthusiasts, both near and far, with an outstanding exhibition and an interesting supporting program. In this way, we are creating a meeting point where friendships, enthusiasm, and the joy of bonsai, ceramics, and culinary arts can be enjoyed in the heart of the South Tyrolean Dolomites.
As president of the Bonsaiclub Brixen, I look forward to welcoming you, together with my team, and I wish you all the best and much joy with bonsai until then.
