Each bonsai is small but have each presence. Koji says, “The essence of shohin bonsai is that a small one brews the taste of a large tree. We usually display some shohin bonsai trees together but some people enjoy a tree itself. Products of small size are preferred now due to housing conditions and graying of society.”
