Hi, I am who are currently studying culture of Japanese Bonsai at my University in Japan. Lately, as everyone knows,the amount of bonsai exports grow ten-fold while domestic growth in Japan is getting smaller. I am strongly thinking that Japanese Bonsai has to be changed and spread their beauty, tradition.

I have some questions to know what do foreigners feels to Japanese Bonsai.

1. Why do you like Japanese Bonsai ? / and What is the difference of Japanese Bonsai and Chinese Bonsai?

2. How do you get Japanese Bonsai?

3. Is Bonsai popular in your country?/ and Where?

4. Do you have any opinion to Japanese Bonsai? I mean like do you want Japnese Bonsai to be changed? if so what point? how?

I really appreciate it if you could answer them.
Thank you so much.

1) i like them because they're out of this world - they are like big trees but small (you see them at a park, big and tall then to see them in a pot that can be the size of a thimble
2)i bought mine from a bonsai shop
3)its not popular in my "country" (london), its if the person is interested in bonsai, which is quite a few because bonsai are from different countries
4)i dont want it to change a bit, i mean its traditional and interesting the way it is
