Thanks John for the great news.

I think that shohin bonsai can represent the cutting edge in new developments and discoveries regarding the art of bonsai. The reason might be that as the tree becomes smaller, the challenges grow exponentially and there is less and less room for error. Also, the techniques applied have to be perfectly executed with the diminishing size: one mistake can be glaringly obvious on a tiny tree and ruins the whole effect, while with large trees one has a little more leeway in this regard.

So, contrary to what many believe, there is much more to shohin than its size. It's a very specialized universe within the larger universe of bonsai.
