KIMURA, SAITAMA PREFECTURE, JAPAN

​

Masahiko Kimura is arguably the most recognized bonsai artist ever, and his work and garden hardly need any introduction. An astounding array of well-known iconic masterpieces grace this garden. Kimura's collection is mainly comprised of large, powerful, and dynamic connifers that showcase at times mesmerizing acrobatics of deadwood with their intricate twists and turns. A smaller number of other species like quince and maple are also on display. The pristine surrounding landscaping is just as meticulously cared for as the bonsai themselves. Breathtakingly beautiful!
