Shunkaen Bonsai

Shunkaen houses over 1,000 trees. One of the most famous of these is estimated to be 1,000 years old, and is located in front of the house.
Though most of the trees are displayed in the courtyard, certain trees are displayed in traditional tokonoma alcoves inside the house. The building also houses a sizeable collection of books and antique Chinese pots and tables are also displayed.
We also observed rock gardens for the first time which are similar in principle to Bonsai.
The master took quite a warming to Jenny ;)Read more
