		<title>Bonsai Sculpture, a Wonderful Video &amp; Great NEW Tools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sculpture. What comes to mind when I look at this manicured Buddleja is &#8216;sculptural bonsai.&#8217;  Though I don&#8217;t think it would ever be admitted to Kokufu-ten (Japans most famous bonsai exhibition) I do think it has something going for it.
