Then of course there are the trees which ware exhibited. Some of the trees, which were show in well prepared tokonomas, ware simple amazing, breath taking. I have never ever seen such high level trees as some trees in this exhibition.

This tree was one of the special ones in the expo. The owner developed this tree from seed and it took him 28 years of patient and skilled work to develop such nice tree.
