The 31st annual exhibit of San Francisco Suiseki Kai was held on August 4-5, 2012. The show included a large number of member’s older stones, many of which were collected 20 or more years ago. Also displayed was a very old hut stone from Japan.

The new year is well underway, and we are busy planning our suiseki activities for 2011. Abundant rains here in Northern California this winter point to a fine collecting season this year.
Meanwhile, as we are wait for the water levels to go down, we can enjoy our memories of a busy 2010.
In August we held our 29th Annual Exhibit at Japan Center. Mr. Hiroshi Suzuki exhibited several of his finest stones from his 30 year career as a suiseki artist and collector. One of the stones he exhibited was the beautiful ume pattern stone pictured above.
The club went on group tanseki trips to the Eel River (in May), the Little Truckee (August), Klamath River (September) and, Black Butte Lake (October). And at the end of October we (along with friends from the California Suiseki Society) hosted a guided tanseki to the Eel River for attendees of the Golden State Bonsai Federation convention.

Our General meeting was held in December this year (due to room scheduling requirements), and new officers were chosen. The 2010 officers are: Chairman – Mr. Ben Nanjo, President – Ms. Janet Roth, Vice-President – Mr. William (Brent) Meran, Secretary – Mr. Dorwin Hilsenbeck, Treasurer – Ms. Hsu Chen, Tanseki Chairman – Mr. Mas Nakajima, Exhibit Chairman – Mr. John Nishizawa, Membership Chairman – Mr. Mike Iwasaki
The 2010 Schedule has now been posted. As in past years we have planned two club stone-collecting (tanseki) trips this year. A trip to the Klamath area may also be organized in the fall. Please note that, because of room availability, the March meeting will be held on the 1st Thursday of the month (March 4) rather than the usual 2nd Thursday.
