Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
Tonight I'm hanging out on bidders.jp and someone is posting some nice bonsai trees! Check these babies out:
Starting at the top, for $2K even we have this powerful black pine. People would die for this pine in the U.S. for only $2K.
Next, for $1280 we have this gianormous five needle pine. Look at that ramification! Once again, seems like a steal for $1280, as long as you have someone to help carry it around.
More in the mood for shohin? This little rough bark maple had me fooled. Looking at the first photo I thought it would be 24" or so tall. Beautiful tree, but not sure it is worth $600 (especially compared to the trees above).
And another shohin. This one for $480. Not a bad little tree - especially since they say there are no scars whatsoever. However I think this tree would have a hard time selling in the U.S. for that amount (?)
It seems like big trees are going cheap in Japan! The unfortunate thing is that it would be hard to slip one of these under your jacket on the plane
