International Bonsai Master Bill Valavanis has 2 additional articles titled “2020 94th Kokufu Bonsai Exhibition Part 3 and Part 4“. The full cascade Japanese Oak is my favorite tree in Part 3. Part 4 has an historic unique Ezo Spruce whch was displayed in the 1934 1st Kokufu Bonsai Exhibition. There is a photo of the tree in 1934 in the article. Quite a difference in the tree 86 years latter. I have added both articles to the Museums/Shows/Botanic Gardens page.
