Attended 8th World Bonsai Convention in Japan to see all my friends from all over the world. Amazing Shohin Bonsai they have and it was my number one in my bucket list to take lots of pictures to share at Bonsai Nut community...

Great stuff - thanks!

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Potential Tofukuji pots with those first couple...? The pear skin window-pane pot with the first shimpaku definitely looks like one.

Thank you, Maria!
Inspiring!
Those almost hidden pink flowers in the last photo have stolen my heart and mind!
Do you remember by any chance the species?

Flowers with pink/red are common plant in Japan and they are called "Hawthorn" and it will melt your hearts out!!! Not a shohin but a full size bonsai at the Omiya village museum.

Thank you for sharing! Amazing shohin trees! Wow. Is that red chojubai in the yellow Biko pot?(or so I think)

Thanks for your reply!

... ... they are called "Hawthorn"... ...

Crataegus/Hawthorn is what I thought upon seeing the photo but was not sure.
