Is your place for sale by any chance?
No need to hire a moving cie, don't bother moving all these pots around

Ian,

I know you like shohin and I have seen some nice one in your collection. Come and visit whenever you are in West Covina and will talk Shohin... Cheers Bro!

Thanks for the invite Peter, that would be great, will PM to figure out a good time. Might have to bring my tent and sleeping bag though and a beer or two.

Thank you so much for this thread. The next time my wife says I have taken this too far I will show her this. While she is recapitulating I will go buy more pots.

Maybe two hours everyday and some of my students helps me weed my shohin trees and in return teach them how to graft... Yes, I do maintain my own garden !!! Check out my front yard..View attachment 81414

If you ever need any extra help, I'm more than willing to help weed or remove wire, even on days where I don't have class with you!

These are some of the nicest trees on this forum, large or small. Congratulations! Who is your mentor?

Not sure that's an appropriate question. By looking at the work, it may be more appropriate to ask who he mentors.

My mentors are Suthin sukolsolvisit, Tak Shimazu and Kenjie Miyata but it is really you the artist that will push yourself to limits in practicing your shohin passion...

Thanks Vin !!! I just got tired of collecting really big trees and shohin is more fun and very addicting...

Maria,

Please take no offense by my question about your mentor(s). It was not intended to take anything away from your work, often inspired by the guidance of others. Vin is right on track, others would be fortunate to have you as their teacher.

What you have shown through your work speaks for itself, your trees are fantastic. So much thought, detail and beauty packed into inches. Inspirational.

Very very beautiful.

If I could make even one shohin that looked as nice as any of those I would be content forever.
