[b]Gallery: Shohin[/b]
[i]This gallery is a in a series of size specific galleries designed with the intention of creating a resource of inspiration as well as a source of enjoyment for all. It is our hope that those who favor Shohin bonsai and those who seek inspiration for designing bonsai of this size will find these galleries valuable and educational.
We have compiled the photographs in these galleries from submitted photographs, various sources such as contest entries and galleries here at AoB. This gallery, like all of our galleries, is meant to be dynamic and to grow as more trees are submitted. Please send any trees you feel would add to this gallery to for consideration.[/i]
Intro- Shohin bonsai (insert intersting, witty things here), 25cm (10in) or less (something else clever or factual), something something, worry about it later......
