Spring work
If not already done, its time for repotting and preparing
Shohin-bonsai for the season. Wiring, pruning and pinching keeps
me busy during May.

It is also time to enjoy the spring flowering specimens, like
the
Japanese Quince.

A new feature on this site is a section dealing with Shohin
display.
A this section all articles regarding display issues are
collected, and examples and Shohin displays are shown.
The first display shown is a spring display from early may.
Detailed photos of the display are available too, so you can
study the Shohin used at each place.

Saburo Kato
One of the great human beings and bonsai
artists, Saburo Kato, died February 8, 2008 at the age of
93.
Kato influenced the spirit and the art of
bonsai greatly in Japan, and throughout the world and will
surely be very missed by family, friends and bonsai lovers.
