To me, the literati form of bonsai is intimately tied to calligraphy. In ancient times, scholars, poets and artists extended their art to bonsai, but with an interest in writing or calligraphy. To do this successfully with trees, minimal structure is required, to accent line. This is why, at least to me, red pines are preferred, but not to the exclusion of other species.
Here is my chojubai white cascade. This particular tree harkens back to an earlier style of flowering quince styling, in which curving contorted lines are traced through the form. The tree is in flower, but not in full bloom. Leaves have just begun to pop out. The florescence of late spring and early summer is a long way off. This is the most interesting kind of writing.
About the QR code: I have seen so many of my photographs on sites without permission, I decided I had to do something. I was initially attracted to QR codes because they look like the ownership seals Japanese and Chinese collectors of paintings and prints used. Then I found out you could imbed text in them. Will this stop theft? No, but it may at least slow it down a bit. On a picture like this, with almost no background, it won’t stop anything, but on a photo of a building or something else, it will be more effective. Some may find it distracting, but I am trying to protect my property.
