Tabletop Bonsai

Arts and crafts

Speaking of bonsai, in Japan it still has an image of senior-citizen’s hobby.
However, it is very popular in other countries, even among young people and women.
For example, in France, they hold its exhibitions and attract many buyers.
Also, it’s good that even reasonably priced ones in Japan can be traded
at high prices overseas, isn’t it?
My guess is that bonsai is widely received as art or interior decoration outside of Japan.

 

 

This photo was taken at a coffee shop on “Philosopher’s Walk” in Kyoto.
Looking at this casual moss bonsai, I just want to try to create one
with my favorite pottery basin.
Wouldn’t that be pretty good for your entrance or living room? (H.S)
