Are you limiting the list to Western bonsai? There are quite a few "famous" trees in Japan that are relatively unknown outside that country.

bonsai is not my hobby

Marija,
how about a better picture of Goshin and a slightly better one of my mugo?

marija,
Here is some info on the white pine. This was the condition of the same tree on January 19, 2005. The information placard is for it as well. Hope this is helpful. John

How about the war survivor maple (I think) at the Weyerhauser exhibit? I'll see if I can get some info on it. It was mentioned during a slideshow at our meeting Monday. The roots had grown through the pot and burst it and so it was one of very few trees that survived while the owners were away. Matt, help me out-do you know the one I mean?

Here's one. Seventh pic down
http://www.shohin-europe.com/PHOTOS...05takeyama.html This spiral jinned tree is famous for it's well, spiral jin. It has appeared in many bonsai publications. The jin supposedly suggests a dragon rising to the heavens (at least that's the explanation I've seen a couple of times). This is but one of the "famous" trees in Japan. Oh, by the way, you planning on getting permission to use some of these photos? It may be necessary |

Michelle, I remember seeing the that Maple, a Trident if I remember correctly. I believe the story is that the man (a Japanese-American) who was taking care of it was "interned" during the war. The rest is as you said.
I found it, here it is: http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthread.php?t=559 right in this forum. walt |
