Bonsai from the Keiunan Collection at the World Bonsai Convention

June 9, 2017 by Jonas Dupuich

It’s hard to overstate the quality of the trees on display at the 8th World Bonsai Convention, and some of the best belonged to the Keiunan Collection.

White pine – 250 years

The trees are under the care of Shinji Suzuki. Several were originally created by Masahiko Kimura.

Black pine – 500 years

Red pine – 350 years

The collection will eventually be displayed in a forthcoming Bonsai museum in Kyoto. The government sponsored project was approved last spring.

Shimpaku – 600 years

Japanese maple ‘Ukon’ – 120 years

Like the display for the Funayama Collection, the Keiunan Collection display mostly featured pedestals instead of display stands. Both displays were designed by S-CUBE’s Seiji Morimae.

Ezo spruce – 450 years

Euonymous alatus

Trident maple – 150 years

White pine – 200 years

Chinese quince – 120 years

Euonymous sieboldianus – 80 years

The collection also included display cases with antique bonsai pots.

As you might imagine, the collection proved popular throughout the convention. Here’s what it looked like during a peaceful moment.
