Rob,

I think the masterpieces of Japanese bonsai are largely due to provenance. Meaning the age, the history and the owner-designer of the tree move it on a line from Best in the world to on down.

Many of the masterpieces were established so long ago and have become so well known so called faults are overlooked and almost respected.

I really believe that standards have spiraled upwards in recent years. The priceless master class of the future may indeed be perfect in every respect.

I like the fact that you say you are striving for perfection with your trees. It takes a lot of work and thought to do this. We will try and follow you.
