Kusamono in winter

[takahama]

This is a photo taken at the end of October. All the other Kusamono were already in the safe greehouse but that one I displayed indoors and put it out for the night. I did not expect early snow. But it completes my photo serie '4 seasons with Kusamono'.

If you want to see more photos go to my website

http://www.kusamono.ch

Also I am living in Swizerland there are some pages only in English, others are German/English.
Go to the galleries: you will find photos of my collection and also one Japanese gallery featuring Fumiko Kato's Kusamono. From my point of view her Kusamono are the best what I have seen up to now. I hope the photos will give you kick to get into this field as well – it is worth doing so – but take your time, be patient, instant Kusamono is not possible.

Thank you for sharing! I have been to your site before and really enjoy it. Sometimes I am so busy with the "work" of bonsai that I forget the subtle beauty I am trying to create. Your plants and arrangements help remind me

Thanks for sharing.

Jason how far are you from Gary Wood? He makes some incredable pots for Kusamono.

Hi Al,

I know Gary spends a few months every year just outside of Salem Oregon at Telperion Farms. I normally see him once or twice a year if we run into eachother. I have seen his pots and they are very cool. I like Gary, he is a nice guy. I actually have a Gary Woods scoop pot.

Thanks, Jason
