Andy, I always enjoy your posts. This one is no exception.

I imagine you noticed my assertion in another thread to the effect that Bonsai, at least in the past, occupied a slightly different place within Japanese culture than Western Art does within ours. I find myself wodering what your thoughts are regarding that comment. Also, whether you think Bonsai is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the "New Japanese". And whether Bonsai will ever become as relvant to our culture as other forms of secular art.

Best regards, Fred
