My best guess is that most of you will appreciate the inventiveness and the humor expressed in this mixed-media bonsai creation, though perhaps a few purists will take offense. It’s by Miyazato Rintaro (thanks to Colin Lewis for sharing it). You can find it and the rest of the photos in this post on Mr Rintaro’s facebook photos.
A little more conventional, but still… the drum pot and the way the soil is mounded so high, the relaxed simplicity of the tree. You get the idea.
Not mixed-media, but not so conventional. One base, one root system, two elongated parallel trunks and one crown.
Satsuki azalea variety in bloom. Satsuki means ‘fifth month.’ Something to look forward to.
This cropped version gives a little closer look.
All the tree and photos in this post are by Miyazato Rintaro.
I’ll bet Nick L. likes it.
I do 2.
I love the novel display. We in New Zealand are regularly being encouraged to develop a ‘Kiwi’ style of tree and I think we should extend that to include display too. So many possibilities are racing around my head at the moment! Merry Christmas all.
THAT IS INCREDIBLE AND CREDIBLE !!!
I SAY: TO HECK WITH THE PURISTS AND TO ANYONE WHO WOULD TAKE OFFENSE AT SUCH WORK… ANYONE IN THAT CAMP SHOULD STOP TAKING THEMSELVES SO SEEEEEERIOUS !!!
CHEERS

I love the bonsai on the bike. Brought a real smile of pleasure to my time worn face. More like this please. Lets think outside the box. Too long have we been held back by convention. This is GREAT
I too love it. I would be afraid of it falling/getting tipped over (maybe I have had cats for too long,) but I enjoy the originality and novelty of the presentation!
looks like the lower half of the tree is bent a little forward to snap a picture of where it’s been; the top half is leaning ‘way forward to get there!
what a great statement for the coming new year.
dang… the more i look at this, the more i believe it is a photoshop construct…
i hope i am wrong, but if i am not, then :-(
maybe its just a really bad photo.
