Yatsubusa Elm Forest

I purchased this composition at the auction during the 2007 Shohin Symposium in Rochester, NY. Bill V. told me that it had been created in one of his workshops by one of his students. He said that it had been together for about 20 years. I purchased this forest because I thought it had some of the great character that can only be developed by time in a pot. I also thought that I could create a forest with a very different feeling by only making a few minor changes. I will post more about this forest in the near future.

Updated Oct 2008: the pics after the silhouette pic are after repotting...changing the front...and adding a new pot.
