I am sorry for the long delay in writing. I’ve actually been very busy at New England Bonsai repotting trees since January (Hitoshi brought back some fine specimens from California then and many needed repotting). I’ve also been busy teaching classes and starting to work in my own collection.
This ume epitomizes the awakening of late winter/spring. My measure of the start of spring is the resounding chorus of peep toads that emerge from their winter slumber. This year they began their singing on the first official day of spring here in New England! I am very anxious to start styling some new shohin material and refining others.
Hopefully I’ll have time to write some more later but, for now, my ear is attentive to the sounds of new life.
