I am really excited about this years annual meeting with my Bonsai Society. It´s held between the 5th and 7th of september in Gothenburg, with Kunio Kobayashi as the lead demonstrator. The botanical garden in Gothenburg is hosting a Japanese year and is thrilled to have him over as well. I think this is the first time he´s visiting Sweden and I hope he will like it.

I recently purchased a savin Juniper (juniperus sabina) from Kaizen Bonsai to work on. I think it lends itself to either a cascade or perhaps a slanting style tree. It has some natural deadwood and a twisting life vein. We´ll se what Kobayashi thinks of it.
