Fukei bonsai (bonkei)

He set “living art”, traditional bonsai reread with a contemporary sensibility, in the grounds of Kanda Myojin as a movable garden. The horticultural culture of Edo and the aesthetic of mitate, the character of Nagasaki, where cultures blend, and a feeling for garden design honed at Chelsea all come together here. The principal tree is a Ginsei Yatsubusa Japanese white pine more than 100 years old (from a fourth-generation pine nursery in Takamatsu).
