Top; Ishitsuki (Tree planted on
rock type). It requires decades
to create and refine a first
branch in this fashion. This ex-
ceptional Japanese white pine
or Goyo-matsu was displayed
by Matsumura Yoshinobu.
Bottom; This display featur-
ing a literati style Japanese
white pine, Pinus parviflora,
Goyo-matsu. A sublime display
entered by a client of Shinji
Suzuki, Aizumi Tadao, and
styled by American apprentice
Tyler Sherrod. Some may want
to remove the lowest branch
to make this design more
of a “bunjin style”. However,
it is this branch that raises
this bonsai’s level of natural
character and individuality.
One of my favorite displays at
the exhibition.
Facing page, Top; Kokufu-ten
prize winning Pseudocydonia
sinensis. Exhibitor unknown.
