Taikan-ten – all the little things

December 23, 2011 by Jonas Dupuich

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.

    Thanks for a wonderful year of Bonsai post! Hope to see you at BIB.
    The unidentified shohin is I believe, Euonymus hamiltonianus var. sieboldianus – Yeddo Euonymus Japanese: mayumi.

      Hi Tom – thanks for reading! I look forward to seeing you at BIB too. You’re right about the mayumi – I forgot the spelling and left the name off.
