World Bonsai Convention Display at Omiya Train Station
It was thrilling to be in Japan for the World Bonsai Convention at the end of April 2017 at Saitama City/Omiya, north of Tokyo. This convention happens once every four years and draws bonsai enthusiasts from around the world. The displays are amazing! The next one will be in 2021 in Perth, Australia.

Even though I was in Japan to look at bonsai, I found cherry blossoms too. Here they are on a sake barrel at a shrine in Omiya.

The multitude of bonsai was almost overwhelming.
Bonsai inspired a billboard near Shinjuku Station in Tokyo.
