Re: Why should we show our bonsai?

Seriously, though, I think that displaying bonsai is important. What I find unimportant is where they are displayed. If I have guests at my house, and I have displayed a tree nicely in my garden, that's important, and that is a valid display.

Perhaps what this thread is actually about is the question of whether it is important to display bonsai in a context wherein the tree will be judged, whether formally, in the case of a competition, or informally, as the tree is exposed to the opinions of other bonsai people.

My answer to that question? It may be important (the judging thing, that is), but not to me.
