Bonsai Art

Today I acquired a gigantic wooden box from work previously used as a base for a dog kennel.  The dimensions are 36 inches by 30 inches!  Alright so there’s no bonsai in it at the moment but I’m going to have fun trying to find one big enough to fit it.  I told the guys at work it will be used for flowers, they would have thought I was crazy if I told them it would house a bonsai tree.

It will be used as a training box for a very large yamadori specimen which I will be hunting for high and low!  Hopefully I can get a few years out of this box as I dread to think what the cost of a ceramic pot is going to be.  At over 3 foot long it is going to be no ordinary pot, that’s for certain.

Here is the box:
