I must say I love that pot. And of course you already know I think the tree suits you

Not familiar with masako kunii. Will need to look them up!

Thanks... yeah...and it just makes me smile.

I remember buying it off a site located in Japan. What a headache... not only language barrier...but then font size needed to fit the platform. I had it paid for just before going on our mission trip.

To only get an email while in the capital city...if I didn't finalize with the shipping end, then my order would be canceled. my apps for conversion was back in the states...and we were to leave for the village the next morning with no internet. I about flipped out. But figured it out...as you can see.

The potter is female...I know that trying to learn about who made it.

Sooooo anyone else see a dragon in the material? I've had a few now see it.

Cool little tree !

Thanks...it's smaller than I initially thought. But pleasantly surprised and love it.

I think it would look good if you can find a cool little rock to put it over too.

Lovely pot!

That’s the first thing I thought. Perhaps it’s bc my toddler is currently hooked on how to train your dragon so I see them everywhere!

Awww how sweet. A fun age too.

A rock...over it? Lost...

 

[vp999]

Root over rock.

Root over rock.

Ummm ... ... my title slip your mind? not happening. But thanks for the suggestion these roots are formed...not flexible. It would cheapen a tree to force a rock where it doesn't belong. Personal opinion that is.

As of now I'm turning the far right branch into a back branch. For a fuller canopy.

The wee maple is finally waking up. Delayed...I imagine as its not from my climate. Going into a controlled cold greenhouse slowed the tree down.

cute

cute

Thanks.

Learned real quick that for a tiny tree. I should have pinched that foliage back yesterday on the apex... it was crazy long this morning as I thought I forgot to do it. So lost an additional set of leaves. Lesson learned. Something so tiny. You must pinch immediately...or you will set the thing back.

Wow...! I'd love to see it fully leafed out. I love shohin and mame trees, but the pot and the fact that its a Japanese maple makes it look so cute!!

I'll be sure to update the thread. Glad you can appreciate it. It's a quirky little thing. Thanks.
