SHOHIN-BONSAI
THE MODERN BONSAI ART
Shohin bonsai is the modern art in bonsai.
小品盆栽 & 豆盆栽 – Shohin means “a small thing”. A tree is considered to be a Shohin Bonsai when 8″ (20 cm) or below.
SHOHIN BONSAI EUROPE / KISESTSU-EN was established in 2003 by MORTEN ALBEK.
One of the first dedicated to Shohin-bonsai in Europe.
Kisetsu-en BONSAI ON is the online educational platform following the seasons, with a focus on styling, caretaking, and inspiration.
We do focus on Shohin-bonsai but also take care of medium sized bonsai, covering the different aspects of the bonsai art and enthusiast needs.
Styling, growing advice, seasonal caretaking, displaying and much more.
A cornerstone of Kisetsu-en is the Q&A members service.
Members can ask questions directly by e-mail and get a personal response.
Selected questions are used in the video tutorials and members also can add their suggestions and questions to upcoming episodes announced ahead.
The main focus is on the smaller trees, but we care for everything from Shohin to larger bonsai.
