Hi folks.
I am back from Japan, where I had the opportunity to buy some nice tools at the Kaneshin factory and to visit some bonsai nurseries.
Top place was the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum in Saitama, near Tokyo.
I will post some pictures below with some of the trees, but...
First things first: as this is not my first trip to Japan nor my first bonsai show over there, this time I have paid more attention to the details, so...
1-) ALL trees (not only the ones inside, on exhibition) had moss on them.
2-) ALL trees had tea bags with Biogold on their soil.
3-) Trees on exhibition (pictures forbidden unfortunately...) stay inside the Museum for one week, then back outside; so the trees inside are always different from the previous week.
4-) NO glazed colorful pots.
5-) No stumps with some foliage on top.
Below the pictures in a sequence.
All pictures are by myself, only exception is the second one showing the tokonoma, as it is forbidden to take photographs inside the museum and I grabbed it from their website.

This tree is HUGE.

Any comments welcome.
There are many bonsai nurseries around, that's why the region is called "Omiya Bonsai Village"
