Looks a lot like a Shohin bonsai display (this and the other photos in this post belong to Ken To).
We’ve shown Ken To’s magnificent little wire sculpture bonsai before. Most people love them, but we have gotten at least one complaint in the ‘they’re not bonsai‘ vein. But that’s okay, Ken’s skill and feel for what makes a bonsai beautiful is impressive. Right down to the finest detail.
There are some are real advantages, especially for our brown thumb friends… No water necessary. Indoors year round, no problem. Low light no problem. No fertilizers, no insects, no temperature issues, no trimming, no weeding, no wiring (ha!) nada. Best of all, worry free vacations (I once lost several shohin bonsai while on vacation [I never told the friend charged with watering that they were dead]).
Conversely, there are disadvantages. Mostly this has to do with time. They never change, so you don’t get to enjoy all the challenges involved in caring for (unless dusting is your thing) and styling bonsai (no watering, no fertilizing, no trimming, no weeding, etc).
All the sculptures shown in this post are from the hundreds of photos on Ken’s website and facebook.
This just might be my all time favorite Ken To sculpture, and I've seen hundreds. Not to say there aren't others equally as impressive, but this one is alive!
Another favorite.
