The Kawa Bonsai Club’s, Joy of Bonsai will be held in January and they are lining up a competition for those that participated in the Tokonoma building class last year. All of those that took the class can bring back their Tokonoma with a display set up to compete against each other. Sounds like fun.
Here’s the group from last year in a Photoshop project I did. If you haven’t seen these little displays, you really need to. They are really something special.

I participated in a Sean Smith workshop during the Joy of Bonsai for building a miniature Tokonoma. It was a lot of fun and a great price.
This was the first steps of constructing the Tokonoma. Sevrel types of woods were used, however I really can’t remember them at this time.
I love this picture! At first it looks like a computer course with people sitting around laptops, but they are only these wooden things. I like to think of it as an Amish Computer Training Class.
More supplies are shown here. It was put together with only glue. Really a great kit that Sean provided.
The side panel had a window that was later fitted with a bamboo treatment.
Here is the finished room with a tree from Louise Leister. Hard to tell the scale of it because it really looks like a full sized room.
I had a little bit of fun with Photoshop after the class by inserting pictures of all of the people that took the class. This photo actually became a bit famous and is used in newsletters and advertisments for all sorts of things.
