San Mateo Bonsai Club had a sensei that specializes in Satsuki. He had a lot of very resourceful techniques that were probably borne out of growing up during the end of the Great Depression and then going through internment during WWII.

Anyway he used plastic forks as plant markers. I'm pretty sure they didn't have those until the late 60's at least, but it shows you how people can "make do" I have seen the concrete bonsai containers, too.

Here he is with an azalea at the 2002 Show.

Regards,

Matt
