The Omiya Bonsai Art Museum, Saitama is pleased to announce its annual Bonseki Exhibition, held in cooperation with the Hosokawa School Bonseki General Incorporated Foundation.
This year’s exhibition, titled “The Beauty of Bonseki — A Journey Through Scenic Realms in Stillness,” explores various scenic landscapes expressed through bonseki. Being able to enjoy such landscapes while seated in stillness is a principle that has long been valued and taught in the classrooms of Hosokawa School Bonseki.
Bonseki involves placing small stones and spreading white sand on a black tray to depict miniature landscapes. Much like bonsai, it is an aesthetic expression rooted in nature that has been cultivated by Japanese culture. We hope you will sense the history accumulated by the Hosokawa school bonseki through these ephemeral works created with stone and sand.

■ Dates: September 4–16, 2026
