Still Bonsai Crazy 7/6/16

uchi4

After Uchi-san's magic touch. Here's what Mark Fields has to say about this tree: "Uchi-San just finished up styling the big taxus. It took about 16 hours to complete. Ready for the big show now! We know the pot is too big for the tree. We will repot in spring."

This post originally appeared in October, 2014. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tree styled like this one. But then, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a bonsai artist quite like Bonsai Crazy Uchi.

Mark Fields is an American bonsai artist and owner of Bonsai By Fields in Greenwood Indiana. Uchi-San is Bonsai Crazy Uchi. The show that Mark is referring to is the 4th U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition.

I love these close-up deadwood shots that let you see every little scar and sliver.

Before Uchi-san. I dug around Mark's facebook photos and found this before shot. You might imagine that's Mark in this hands-on profile and you'd be correct.

Bonsai Crazy Uchi. The name Crazy is his idea and there's a good reason he's wearing shades (stay posted).
