Maybe it’s just that I’ve never seen bonsai exhibited in winter without their leaves, but these were the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen.

Me too! These were especially gorgeous, but have you ever been out to Omiya? There’s a whole neighborhood filled with bonsai nurseries out there, plus the Bonsai Museum! I did a post on it, whining about their weird picture policy, but there’s a picture here:

I agree! Here in Japan, I see so many bonsai I’m pretty much, oh another bonsai, but these stopped me in my tracks!
