 British Shohin Association
Welcome to the British Shohin Association - the first and only Shohin based society in the UK.
The idea behind the BSA is an appreciation society, to promote the cultivation, aesthetics and display of the smaller sizes of bonsai and to let people know just how wonderful and enjoyable this side of bonsai actually is.
We invite anyone with an interest in Shohin, Mame and Chuhin sizes of bonsai and indeed anyone with a keen interest in bonsai generally to join our forward thinking association.
The British Shohin Association show will definitely be held over the weekend of the 27th & 28th February 2010 - put it in your diary now!!!

If Shohin are your thing, come and join with us and get involved in the new BIG thing - be part of the BSA!
