They like 'em big
In November I was invited by the Taiwan
National Bonsai Association to visit their
national bonsai show. The aim? To show-
case the quality of their bonsai to the rest
of the world. I already knew Taiwanese
bonsai by the amazing winding trunks
and sharis of its junipers. Interesting to
discover that all of them are field grown
and skilfully made to look like really old
yamadori. Therefore, when arriving at
the venue I expected a show completely
dominated by these junipers. I was most
surprised to see displayed many different
varieties that I had only seen before as
third grade indoor bonsai at home. Here
in Taiwan these were seriously large and
well refined specimens, row after row. The
humid climate of Taiwan must be a great
help in encouraging trees to grow well. It
was an amazingly large show with very
high end trees.
It was just too crowded to take good shots
of the trees, so I managed to sneak out of
the gala dinner to make a deal with the
guards in order to take photos of those
amazing trees after the show closed to
the public. In our gallery pages you can
see a selection of the trees I shot. As well
as this assortment of trees there was a
very large section of shohin, too.
The Taiwan trip included a visit to some
of the most important bonsai nurseries
and Masters. What struck me was that
the trees were mega big, impossible to
carry by humans and needed to be lifted
by a fork lift truck. They were very refined,
though, and wired to the smallest branch.
I soon found out that this was purely for
the Chinese market; as one of the bonsai
Masters told me, 'they just like things big'.
And speaking of big, though not as big as
those Taiwanese trees, take a look at the
'Last Giant' juniper created by father and
son Iura. They managed to bring this huge
tree back into appreciable proportions.
Enjoy the read.
