Made a trip up to Matt Ouwinga's place on Monday. Came back with a nice little Kosen drum and a Tosui half glazed drum. The Tosui is about 12 inches and the Kosen is mame size.

Also came home with a huge 20" nanban, which was smashed into three or four pieces during shipping. Matt showed it to me when I asked about the max size pot he can get from Japan. Standard shipping boxes are abou 24 inches wide. The pot was as the edge of the limit. He said "take it if you want it." Pretty much useless at this point, but I'm going to see if I can't rehab it a bit. It was a custom pot by a skilled potter (can't remember the name) We'll see how that goes.

Matt has a fantastic place with about a billion seedlings of every stripe and a collection of extremely nice bonsai -- far beyond my capabilities. Nice to have such a deep source of bonsai stuff in the area. kosen.jpg
