We invest our time for the future in Bonsai. Doubt I’m the only one whom thinks of Bonsai as appreciating assets. I mean I’d be at a loss if something happened to the material I worked on with enthusiasts / teachers / friends in bonsai , even the effort spent on acquiring or working on to take into next stages of development in Bonsai…. I’d be crushed. As they age they improve or are already of provenance , as our skills improve the aesthetics/ horticultural value improves as well. Even the ceramics they are contained in appreciate in value ( I say this because besides training pots, all my ceramics are of some value/ made by well known or up and coming ceramicists) as they age they acquire patina or provenance.
The subjection of value is up to interpretation.
I almost wish there was a matrix of Bonsai / ceramics that could help alleviate those questions when we go into the marketplace or obtain/create the material ourselves. I know there are auctions that take place both here and around the world in Bonsai.
If you’re still reading perhaps you can read between the lines of what I’m talking about . Besides a more technical method to truly determine the value of all items we use in Bonsai, perhaps there is a way to utilize that captured beauty in that time of its life/ iteration that would hold value , and be backed by the fact that the material captured is living and appreciating in value like that of the Bonsai that’s captured.
No I’m not in Bonsai for any monetary reason , it’s simply a far fetched idea. At the end of the day we do this because we love Bonsai . I’m just bored /thinking. Kinda like trading cards / but electronically captured and acquire value like the Bonsai image they have.
