Good Morning All,
I have been looking at my Kokufu 83 book and was wondering if someone could explain the designations - Important Bonsai Masterpiece and Kokufu Prize to me and what they mean in terms of the judging.
Thanks,
JRob
Important Bonsai Masterpiece is not allowed to be exported or sold to new owner outside Japan.
I am somewhat saddened to hear this. Why should it matter who the owner is if the tree is maintained in the highest standard of the art form?
