I have read many posts on this site about individuals wanting to learn more about Bonsai Display.
Specifically, many seem confused about the "rules" in formal Japanese display.
I have spent a considerable amount of time studying and translating a display style called Gaddou 雅道,
which would be interpreted as "the way of Elegance".
It is a display style devoted to teaching one how to formally display Bonsai and Sanyasou.
The presentation along with accompanying notes is for sale for $5.00

It is a 60 page presentation with the following outline of topics:

  2. The Formal/Semi-formal/Informal System
  3. Defining your Bonsai (Species & Styling)

  7. Scrolls
Part 2: Merging Components into Coherent Stories

  3. Toko no Ma Basics

An opportunity set in Mid-May (Date and Time TBD), where those who have purchased this Presentation
can ask questions and we will discuss in a group how to weave personal cultural experiences into your bonsai
displays.

For those who don't know some of my credentials are listed below:

I hope to speak with many of you on a personal basis.
