Zuisho Follow-up
Monday, February 2nd, 2009A regular customer came to the nursery yesterday to check out the new arrivals before everything gets shipped up to Tokyo for the Kokufu-ten. He saw the Zuisho I recently wired and immediately started jumping up and down in excitement…not because he was impressed with my work, but because he said he knew the tree from over 25 years ago! He began flipping through the Taikan-ten books and found the same Zuisho in the 6th album (printed 22 years ago). Then he frantically searched through the Kokufu-ten books and found the tree again in the 72nd album (printed 11 years ago) as it was wired by Masahiko Kimura. The picture below on the far left is the same Zuisho from the 6th annual Taikan-ten, the middle picture is from the 72nd Kokufu-ten, and the picture on the very bottom was taken after my most recent attempt to wire the tree.
