Over the past weekend I entered my miniature tokonama at the Joy of Bonsai, sponsored by the KAWA Bonsai club.  If you haven’t been to it or even heard of it, you are missing out.  This small club puts on a world class bonsai convention, display, and demonstration every year, and it just keeps getting better.

I am really happy with the way it turned out, and I think my composition was simple and balanced.  However there was good competition.

  When you see close ups of these little tokonama it is hard to judge how small they are. I hope this photo gives a good idea of just how miniature everything is.

Although I didn’t win the competition, I did still manage to take home 3rd place.  Not bad I guess.  I just need to start working on small trees so that next time I will hopefully do better.  All in all I really enjoyed the experience
