Masters Gallery: Out of Focus, But Still… 10/1/09

TaiwanramificationIn addition to its amazingly fine ramification, this somewhat out of focus tree exhibits a powerful trunk with a strong nebari and a great overall sense of balance. And what looks to be a very interesting pot. It’s from a youtube video entitled Taiwan Bonsai Creator Association.

Fine branching
This tree is one of the best examples of fine branching (ramification) that you’ll ever see. If the branching were less developed, it would still be a very good tree. As it is, you might say that it’s a unique and wonderful example of what a bonsai can be.

Ten thousand little cuts
Most of us don’t bother developing finely detailed branching all the way out to the twigs that grow off of the twigs that grow off of the twigs (and so on). In fact, you could safely say that bonsai with fine branching like the tree above are truly rare. Though skill is required, developing this kind of ramification is mostly about time, patience and ten thousand little cuts.
