    Japanese Larch Shohin?

    Very nice, I like what you have done with it. I'm wondering how it would look with the apex rounded off just a little, to give it a more aged, less triangular look? - bob

    Anyone ever found a seller of decent indoor bonsai?

    I guess I should have been more specific in my post. What I'm talking about is more beginer/intermediate pre-bonsai type material. Something that looks like a tree and can be developed. Something in the less that $100 ball park. All I see on their website is specimen material. I think...

    But that would not be the experience that a Japanese person has when they view the display with the kanji scroll. They would know what it says. So why don't they display scrolls with English on them so that they could experience it the same way, if that's the way its "supposed" to be...
