I visited this tree in the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum in Washington, D.C. today. It began bonsai training in 1625 and was cared for by the Yamaki family until it was donated to the United States in the 1970s.

This tree was only two miles from the atomic blast in Hiroshima and survived due to a wall in the garden that shielded the tree.

Astounding... 400 years... Such a beautiful specimen.

Meanwhile, the wind changes and my potted plants die.
