BB,

I voted for the top option, they remind me of trees in nature. Around here, there are hundreds of sumo oaks and beeches. Many of them are fatter than they are tall, many of them are hollow, all are fascinating.

It is purely that I admire them in nature so much that I like them in bonsai form. They convey a sense of power, age, might, and history. It's this last thing that I'm currently fascinated with.

Some examples of sumos locally...

Regards,

Chris.
