Show Notes

In this episode I had the privlege of chatting with Matt Ouwinga of Kaede Bonsai.  Matt told me the story of following his passion for Bonsai and transitioning from working as a full time school teacher to running a very succesfull business, becoming the largest supplier of high quality Bonsai pots imported from Japan into the US.  He dropped several knowledge gems on me about Japanese and Chinese antique pots.  We talked about differnt Bonsai pot time periods, the Tokoname region of Japan, Japanese Bonsai pot auctions, the GOAT of Japanese Bonsai containers and several other fun topics.
