More shohin bonsai from Nekotoban’s blog showing exhibits from Kyusyu Miyabi-ten 2013. There’s far more detail re pots and tree species on her blog HERE.
Did a little work on this wee one a few days back. Smaller pot required at some point.
Any idea who made this pot?
For all you Shohin folk, check these out 🙂
If you want to know more info on species and pot makers then pop over to Nekotoban’s Bonsai Days Blog where she has lots more info listed for each photo. After seeing how popular her exhibition posts were last year, she has taken the time to note more information about each display. There should more exhibition posts to follow.
Peter Warren’s new book has hit the shelves of book stores, well, probably more accessible via Amazon’s virtual book store, but you get my meaning.
Mr Snart of Willowbog fame has displayed his copy nicely in a Tokonoma. Did he write any words of wisdom on the inside cover Peter? 😉

Just a few personal words on the new Leinster Bonsai Club. Last night was the first meeting and I made my way down along with Phil to help them get the ball rolling.
There was 18 of us on the night and what an enthusiastic bunch they were. Well done to Owen for setting up the meeting and I hope this is the first of many great nights with them.
It was fun watching things come together on the night, starting with the Bingo Battle. Turns out the Bingo folk reserve the right to park in all the spaces at the hall!!
Once we got the business end over with, bonsai took over and as you can see below, Phil and I had to hide behind the table after a barrage of questions 🙂
Onwards and upwards for Bonsai in Ireland.
Well, we are almost there, only 24 hours until the first meeting of the Leinster Bonsai Club in Balbriggan.
Phil and I are popping down there for the evening, should be good craic with a reasonable crowd going, if everyone turns up who says they are going.
Exciting stuff seeing a club get off the ground again in the biggest city in Ireland. Great potential. Phil and I are offering support on behalf of the Northern Ireland Bonsai Society as well as going for our own fun and enjoyment.
A few of those attending have asked for a few sale trees to be brought so we will throw a few bits and pieces in the van but we are also bringing a tree each for display. We are hoping most people attending will bring a tree with them to make the night a bit special.
If you are planning on coming along and are reading this, help spread the word on social media.
