| Kunio Kobayashi - Japan * |
|
Kunio Kobayashi Kunio Kobayashi’s father was a farmer so Kunio grew up with plants. He attended a horticultural school and after graduation he became a grower of flowers and grasses. Then he learned about satsuki azalea and became totally fascinated by it. Somewhere along the line he also became enchanted with the world of bonsai and less interested in simple horticulture. Kobayashi-san taught himself the art of bonsai and today he is recognized internationally as one of the Japanese Masters. He studied Keido, the art of display, under the founder and grand master of the Iemoto School, Mr. Ichiu Katayama. Kobayashi’s trees, particularly the Keido, have been published in many international magazines. Kobayashi created “Keiga-tei”, “Mukyu-an”, and then The Bonsai Museum. A lot of bonsai fanciers from outside of Japan visit his museum. It has been thirty-three years since Kobayashi entered into the world of bonsai. He has won the Kokufu-sho Prize 13 times; the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize 10 times; he has taught 200 Kokufuten awardees; he has written for three consecutive years the series Kuchi, Hacho Te Hacho (Many Mouths, Many Hands) and he has appeared on Tokyo MX television for a year and a half in the Bonsai program. 小林國雄(Kunio Kobayashi)的父親是農人，所以他在農家成長，於園藝學校畢業後，以培育草花類植物為生長達五年。當他領悟到杜鵑之美時，深深著迷。認識盆栽後，興趣逐漸轉移研究盆栽之創作。 小林(Kunio Kobayashi)大師對於盆栽的研究是自學而成，早期面對一株一株的盆栽，研究如何詮釋盆栽之美，如今他已成為國際公認的日本大師。他也向Ichiu Katayama研究景道，在大師啟迪之下，他認為盆栽的藝術性是綜合的美，盆栽應配合適當的盒器，順應季節變化，以草花或掛軸呈現整體美。他發表了許多相關的文章。 他創立春花園(“Keiga-tei”, “Mukyu-an”)，盆栽美術館(The Bonsai Museum)，各國同好到日本時，必定前往造訪，深切體會到日本盆栽應往國際化發展。小林國雄(Kunio Kobayashi)創作盆栽已逾33年，曾獲國風賞(Kokufu-sho Prize)13次，內閣總理大臣賞(Minister of Agriculture)、農林水產大臣賞獎(Forestry and Fisheries Prize)等無數次，著作「盆栽藝術一天」，並於電視節目中教導盆栽製作長達一年半之久。 |
