From: "Kitsune Miko" Subject: [IBC] TRUE greatness 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!!!. 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. Her book will be a dust collector in a short time....I suspect. Destined for club auctions and.....eBay. 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? And, Heck, lets face it and be truthfull here, Being a cute young girl helps in any nationality's group run by old men! :) 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! :) Dale ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Boon Manakitivipart++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
