BONSAI TREE BOXWOOD SAIKEI FOREST PLANTING IN SHALLOW TOKONAME POT. We realize that the winter chill has already reached many parts of the U. Height: The height of the Tallest tree from the soil line to the top of the apex is 24. Canopy: The canopy of the entire forest measures 19 wide. Nebari (Root Spread): Tree shows many exposed Roots. Trunk Diameter: The trunk Dia, is approximately 1.5. The Japanese art of Saikei (Sigh-kay) literally means living landscape. The art form was started just after World War II by Mr. Toshio Kawamoto in Japan where many collections and nurseries were destroyed. Kawamoto-san based the art form on the bonsai principles of group/rock plantings where balance, pruning, and wiring play a big factor. I have enjoyed watching this forest grow and mature into the fine bonsai specimen that you see today. Most of the very well developed bonsai trees that I sell were started by the original first generation Japanese American bonsai masters that Ive studied under here in the west coast. This composition in particular has been worked on several times over the past years by experience bonsai masters to bring to fruition. The Boxwood is one of the most versatile trees in bonsai. Along with the Olive it is an ideal starter tree for beginners because it is easy to care for and resilient. It is also a perfect choice for the experienced bonsai artist because of the trees ability to challenge you in the design flow. Because the Boxwood can adapt quite easily too many different environments as well as resist many diseases makes this outstanding Saikei group planting even more attractive and suitable to any bonsai collector. For a forest that is only 19 inches wide, this small giant shows a lot of seasoned character within the trees that only time can provide. Along with the outstanding composition the trees are also blessed with all the right ingredients to make this group planting into a masterpiece if it isnt already. This is a Bonsai forest that can be cherished for many years and if you like the pictures than I guarantee that you will love the Saikei forest. Complementing the impressive composition is a shallow unglazed oval Japanes Tokoname bonsai pot. John Naka once said that It is better to have one fine bonsai than ten mediocre trees.
