A Bonsai Pot that Set the Armies Marching 1/21/17

tree4

This powerful little Trident maple with its massive trunk and distinctive mottled soft blue pot deserves top billing. The photo is from a section on Takao Koyo in the Japanese Bonsai Pots Blog.

This all started with a couple pots by Takao Koyo on Morten Albek’s Shohin Bonsai Blog. A quick search lead to a Takao Koyo jackpot at Ryan Bell’s Japanese Bonsai Pots blog, and from there a link to Takao Koyo’s blog, where you can enjoy an abundance of great pots and trees.

This post originally appeared two years ago (Jan, 2015). I’ve done some editing but the photos are just as they were.

When was the last time you saw a pink bonsai pot? This photo is straight from the Master's blog. The substantial little tree is another maple; but this time it's Japanese (Acer palmatum).
