Bonsaï Culture Expo 2026: a landscape in a pot
An exhibition at Paris’s Parc Floral traces the history of bonsai as landscape art and features a live Saika-Bonsaï composition.
- For
- Bonsai enthusiasts and visitors to the Parc Floral
- Worth noticing
- The page says the demonstration's composition will join the Parc Floral's permanent collection; its date and time are still to be confirmed.
Field notes
The page frames Saika-Bonsaï as a landscape-making practice rather than simply a technique for shaping individual trees, and explains how scale, season and empty space contribute to the scene. Its historical account cites a bonsai screen in Tokyo’s Idemitsu Museum collection and a Muromachi-period text, while the planned demonstration uses a custom pot from Tokoname. The page says the resulting composition will stay in France; that is a stated plan, not a confirmed outcome.
