The Bonsai Blog of Bjorn Bjorholm

Mr. Fujikawa recently came back from a buying trip to Saitama with this massive Zuisho riding in the backseat.  I immediately asked if I could have a go at it, and after a bit of coercing, convinced Mr. Fujikawa I could handle it.  I was actually given a choice of either working on this tree or going up to Tokyo the next day to help with the Shinsa (Kokufu-ten pre-judging event).  In the end I decided it was best not to pass up the opportunity this bonsai presented and skipped out on the Tokyo trip.  While Mr. Fujikawa was gone for 4 days I wired this Zuisho from sun-up to sundown, trying my best to create the image I knew my Oyakata wanted.  Of course when he returned he found a few minor details that I overlooked, but for the most part I got the thumbs up.  Please enjoy!
