The 2026 Q1 Edition explores how exhibitions shape the living traditions of bonsai, penjing, and suiseki, where artistry meets cultural memory and public imagination. Centered on the BCI 2025 International Convention in Gaozhou and the Crespi Cup in Italy, this issue highlights global dialogue, regional identity, and evolving practice. Through insightful reports and personal reflections, it reveals how these art forms are sustained by community, history, and the shared experience of those who bring them to life.

Bonsai Clubs International — Important Notice

BCI 2026 Convention — Cancelled & Postponed

Status: Cancelled & postponed — until further notice

Bonsai Clubs International has been formally notified by the host, the Malaysian Penjing Art Creation Society (MPACS), that the BCI 2026 International Convention in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — originally scheduled for 19–23 June 2026 — has been cancelled and postponed until further notice due to unforeseen circumstances, including the ongoing global fuel crisis and the withdrawal of anticipated funding and financial support.

This is a postponement, not a retreat from our shared commitment. Revised dates and arrangements will be announced through official BCI channels once conditions allow and preparations are confirmed. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
