Shohin display

[Ugo]

Hi!

I would like to ask your opinion about Shohin display.
I did recent work on one of my Shohin and I would like to present the tree.
Ive never participate in any event before and I would like to make it simple for the first time.

I Know Shohin are presented as a group but I was wondering if I could present only one tree with either a Suiseki or company plant and a mini-shikishi maybe with akso a gold screen behind.
Knowing the pot is not final I only want to gain experience at presenting.

I did 2 drawings of what I have in mind (without the mini-shikishi) please dont mind the details but Im wondering if one of the 2 could be a 'correct' presentation.

If not ill just wait as I have other trees in preparation but this is the first one of the lot to be "okay" to present.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you!

We visited the San Diego Bonsai Club exhibit a couple weeks ago. I’d say based upon what I saw, you are pretty darn close to what some of the displays looked like.

Absolutely you can, especially with a tree with this much presence. Try to place it among other small trees so it doesn’t get “lost” in the exhibition.

Thank you guys!
Makes me more confident in buying a proper stand for the tree.
I will get quotes from Japan, as Im not able to find what Im looking for so far.

Thank you again for your advises.

Hi!

Just to give a quick update.
I finally did my first show last week-end at the SBPM and got very good comments on the tree and layout so thank you again for your advises.
The table is made by IMBO Bondaï table so my comment above is totally false, Alex did a great job and made it possible!

I was completely surprised by one thing, I couldn't do the installation myself. I had to provide a photo of the final product and the organizers once the room was in place would set each presentation.
In the photo shown here I think the Tanzaku should have been lower.
Please excuse the quality of the picture.
Official pictures should be available soon.
