Four Cascades

摘要

It is no wonder that the cascade bonsai is one of my favorite styles. When I was young, I had over 200 cascade bonsai in my garden. The top four accompanied me for approximately 25 years, helping me to win many prizes, and helping me to open my mind.Also, when I am sad they make me happy; when I am discouraged, they encourage me. They are my true friends, and I will maintain them forever. I acquired my first cascade when I graduated from the university, nearly 26 years ago. This Premna japonica is not only my first cascade but also it is my first exhibition bonsai and it is now well known in Taiwan.
