My Thoughts

Wonderful Topic !!!!

To me I am so tired of the same cookie cutter trees.
I live in America, not Japan.
They do it their way I do it mine.
Just because something was started there means little to me and my trees. I am not into Bonsai to compete. It is something I enjoy. I also enjoy seeing the Bonsai of my friends and very few fit the cookie cutter mold. Why would anyone want a tree that looks just like anyone else's.
As far as being a Master...who really cares. I for one don't.
Go into a cafe and tell them you are a Master and don't forget your money for what you order. This is not saying that I don't respect any person! I respect what they can do. Would I call anyone Master, I think not.
Each person should learn something new everyday of their life if not they lose the grey matter.
And how many Masters are there? Again who cares.
Just my point of view.
Thank You and have a nice day!
Irene
