Great tree. Great pot. Great photo too (the uncropped original is below). I’m guessing the tree is a Taiwanese juniper. Here’s the translation: This and the other photos in this post are from 2014, with Chinese-style bonsai Exhibition prize categories: bronze medal for species: Cypress bonsai collection: Lin Minghui
All the photos in this post are from one person’s facebook feed. I can’t say who the person is (can’t read Chinese), but I know he’s Taiwanese and his photo does look familiar.
Fortunately the trees have captions with translations that include the artist’s names. Feel free to do your own research. I couldn’t find links for any of them.
Looks like another Taiwanese juniper with a striking sinuous live vein snaking its way up a stone (how’s that for alliteration?). Here’s the caption: 2014, with Chinese-style bonsai exhibition award category: gold medal species: Fish River Cypress bonsai collection: Lin Chi
Even without the caption there’s no doubt this powerful tree is a Ficus. If there are two bonsai varieties Taiwan is famous for, it’s Ficus and Taiwanese Junipers. Here’s the caption: 2014, with Chinese-style bonsai exhibition award category: gold medal species: Ficus bonsai collection: Liu Jingyan
I love the relaxed uncontrived feel this literati Japanese black pine expresses. And how bout that stone? The caption reads: 2014, with Chinese-style bonsai Exhibition prize categories: bronze medal for species: black pine bonsai, Hsinchu stone collection: Li Xinkuan
One example of many Shohin displays featured. 2014, with Chinese-style bonsai exhibition award category: gold medal species: sketch into a potted plant collection: Huang rich
