They say that “Success breeds Success” and I’m sure that our 2 new exciting
Club Sponsors will be hoping that Shiten’s meteoric, and highly surprising,
success in 2014 will rub off on these 2 fledgling Bonsai businesses.

Secondly, serial second-rate supplier SUTEKI! has agreed to supply all Shiten’s pot
(ceramic not organic!) and Accent plantings for Club displays. Seen by many in the Bonsai world as a highly
risky move we at Shiten feel that we are an inclusive Club and keen to nurture
home grown, if wayward, talent. Their
work will be closely monitored and SBS hope that under their guidance SUTEKI!
will improve to an acceptable standard within the UK although we fully
understand they will never make an international contribution to the Bonsai
scene as a whole.
(*Although some success has been attained using SMC
containers it was agreed that the “sai”
transcended the “bon” in all cases)
