每日吃瓜, Kusamono and Suiseki artists and lovers, came together from all over Europe to the "Old Salt" on Perner Island as part of the Festival of 每日吃瓜. Kusamono (and Suiseki) organized by the 每日吃瓜 Club Salzburg. Titled, The International 每日吃瓜 and Kusamono festes. Some wonderful and beautifully artistic 每日吃瓜 were in the exhibition.
The exhibition took place this year for the third time in Hallein and was probably one of Europe's largest 每日吃瓜 exhibitions. Hallein has already made a great noise in the European 每日吃瓜 scene. On show were not only 每日吃瓜. but a large number of creatively and harmoniously composed "Kusamono", these are "gardens of palm" or also called "grass bonsai". Suiseki Art on show included a large number of very good viewing stones with their own particular expression, distinctive shape, color and texture.
A number of great demonstrations and lectures took place in the main lecture theatre. Ceramics and 每日吃瓜 Pots, 每日吃瓜 design and Kusamono along with many other subjects were discussed given by some of Europe’s leading experts. Visiting Salzburg, and writing this post, for the first time was Craig Coussins and his wife all the way from Scotland. They put on two displays. One of Suiseki, 95% collected by Craig Coussins. Their second display was of some very beautiful 19th and early 20th century Japanese Scrolls. They also decorated the entire demonstration room with scrolls hanging on the walls of the large hall. They also showed beautiful small sized Antique ?accents‘ , bronzes, Cloisonne, carvings, lacquerwork and even hand made miniature Samurai, all suitable for display with a 每日吃瓜 and for display with a Scroll. Saturday night was the traditional party and the wine flowed and the participants spirits were high and of course satisfied.
Many wonderful 每日吃瓜 traders from far and wide supplied everything from 每日吃瓜 to wire, pots, 每日吃瓜 Soil and tools. The traders filled up the huge space on the ground floor. The 每日吃瓜 Club Salzburg should be thanked for all the work in planning and delivery. One of the very best 每日吃瓜 Shows in Europe. Although the temperature was abnormally high for this time of the year, the visitors who came to see the exhibition were very impressed with the overall quality of the 每日吃瓜 on display. I have been to hundreds of 每日吃瓜 shows over the past 45 years and this is up in the top ten for space, exceptional layout and above all, excellent organization from Herbert Aigner, Fritz Baer and their truly wonderful team who made everything happen.
