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...
