European Suiseki Assocation
E.S.A. (European Suiseki Association) is a non-profit educational organisation, that advances the ancient and living art of Suiseki and related arts through the global sharing of knowledge. We educate while promoting international friendship and strengthening global relationships through cooperation with individuals and organizations whose goals are compatible with our own.
“The objects of the Association shall be to promote Suiseki art and stone appreciation generally; this may be done by acting as stimulus to its members, through teaching all aspects of the art and science of Suiseki; promoting Suiseki to the general public; organising meetings, exhibitions and publications.” (Art.2, E.S.A statues).
The E.S.A. organises each year, mainly in collaboration with the E.B.A., a convention and an exhibition in one of the European cities. This exhibition showcases the work of ESA members. In addition to the exhibition, the annual general meeting is also held.
