If you really want to be

shaken up, look up Lisa Tajima on the net. I have her
book. She is classicaly trained and is gaing
recognition in the japanese bonsai community.

Kitsune Miko




:) Well..... I think you are perhaps giving her a bit more notoriety than
is deserved... both for her bonsai and her simple toyish pottery ( heck,
even I can do those!) , .because she put out a book!!!.

well someone said the same
about
Miro'( spanish painter)
*my kids can di the same *..
yes you can as my friends' kids can
NOW
but she (lisa) opened the way she was the first to have the idea and
the guts to make it real
the same as kimura( that I am not a fan of either) with his ogival
vertical hand sculptured stone with a pine in the middle ..he dared and
he did ... the others just nag :-D


About anyone could do that now in the age of computers. I think that's why
there are 20 books on bonsai for $12-$17 by people no one ever heard of
filled with pics of awful bonsai ( or good bonsai that belong to someone
else!). It so often seems people gain notoriety because they put out a
book, not because they put out a book because they were talented and people
recognized that.



there a lot of people that thinks they are talented and many are...
but very few reach the arrival line...

Her book will be a dust collector in a short time....I suspect. Destined for
club auctions and.....eBay.

it is fun and joyful in a Ikea's style apt ....
it would not be nice in her majesty the Queen Edwardian living room

I also suspect that her having a display in a Japanese bonsai masters
display is much more small-group-politics than "gaining recognition in the
japanese bonsai community". Don't you think?

a lot of small bonsai as shohin a mame have wonderfully carved and
colored pattern pottery that are not find in the normal size regular
strict pots..
it is a wink , a poetry dialogue between the small humorous pot and
his guest :the mini bonsai ..

And,
Heck, lets face it and be truthfull here,
Being a cute young girl helps in any nationality's group run by old men! :)


she's cute indeed.. it is a plus.. would she be ugly maybe her art
should be better or worse ? she has the look of her art ... :-)

I'm sure she wouldn't have any trouble getting a display into any national
convention here in the USA. We like cute girls too! :)


you are growling ...
do you have something against nice japanese gals?:-D
I find the idea of her bonsai's remarkable but I would not buy them
....... but her ..... it is another story :-D

have a sunny day...
