Many of the trees that we sell are still a work in progress, but this old Kishu (Shimpaku) Juniper is a completed tree that is now show ready. It has never been shown anywhere else until today. The tree represents some of the best material that we have to offer. Nevertheless, many of the masterpiece bonsai trees that we eventually sell were started by the original first generation Japanese bonsai masters that Ive studied under here in the west coast. This tree in particular has been worked on several times over the past years by bonsai masters Kenji Miyata to bring to fruition. This tree is not collected, but has lived its entire life as bonsai. The tree was first styled about thirty years ago, but only the shaping of the sinuous trunk and development of the primary branches were done. After Miyata-san took possession of the tree he proceeded to add his own classic Japanese style to it. One of the most important factors in creating a high quality bonsai is that you must first start with a tree that has great potential. Secondly, the person that is designing the tree must know what they are doing, because Masterpiece bonsai trees do not happen by accident. The proportions on this Kishu juniper are very attractive; in fact, I would say that they are ideal! Overall, the composition of this small Kishu juniper conveys a tree that has persevered. The sstrong movement of the trunk and its branches gives one the impression of a tree that has spent all of its life on an open windy prairie. The tree has a pleasing composition that came to fruition through much thought, planning, but most importantly through time. Short history of Kenji Miyata. Bonsai Master Kenji Miyata is from in Toyohashi, a town in Aichi prefecture, Japan. Before being certified as a Bonsai Master by the Japan Bonsai Association, Mr. Miyata began his bonsai journey as a 15 year old bonsai apprentice at Daiju-en and Tokai-en bonsai nurseries. Daiju-en has produced some of Japan’s best bonsai growers including Japan’s grand bonsai master Toshinori Suzuki. After six years of gaining sufficient knowledge and developing his own skills, Miyata-san became a bonsai master at the young age of 21. In 1977 he started his own bonsai business, the Miyata-en Bonsai Garden, where he maintained and cared for numerous private collections of prestigious and highly valued trees that have been displayed at the. Kokufu-ten in Kyoto, Japan. Miyata-san has also won awards at three consecutive Sakufu-ten (professional) bonsai contests (1999, 2000 and 2001). The contest features the works of the best bonsai growers in Japan. Miyata’s style is sought out because he is known for creating masterpiece bonsai. He is also considered a classic Japanese bonsai traditionalist, using centuries-old techniques that emphasize symmetry and balance. This is your opportunity to own a Kenji Miyata bonsai, one of the world’s foremost authorities on bonsai creation and styling.
