Bonsai tree: Taikan-ten – all the little things

Taikan-ten – all the little things

Looking over my photos from Taikan-ten last night made me really happy. Sure, I miss being around such great trees every day, but I’m happy to have seen them and I appreciate the opportunity I have to share the photos.

To get a better sense of the overall event, please read Peter Tea’s report, “Taikan-ten 2011” and see Bjorvala Bonsai Studio’s fantastic video report, “The Bonsai Art of Japan: Episode 22.”

Below are some some of the small-sized bonsai and suiseki exhibited at the 2011 Grandview Bonsai Exhibit. I’ll post pics of the larger trees next week.
