Aus Bonsai Literati Bunjingi Competition.

[Jamie]

well this causes me some troubles. looking and thinking about what i have in stock for my tree with so many trunks/branches available i was gonna go with a twin style....

[Pup]

Brett if a contestant says cascade literati I will knock 60 points off.
If they say literati I will be objective we are working with a style one at a time if you want a cascade style say so.
I have posted what I consider Bunjingi . The two photo's you have posted I see as Bunjingi also Stymies.
Multi trunks are allowed as Stymie says providing they fit the criteria.

As I keep saying Bunjingi is the style.

Bunjingi bonsai exhibit an understated elegance, austerity,a beauty of line and sophistication.

It is the Wabi and Sabi we westerners strive for in Bonsai. Pup

Edit I see reference to certain people who are held i high regard by the Bonsai fraternity. In this style I am sure they would all agree do your own.
Think out side the square. Do not go for the grotesque though.

I have a thought of what I think you mean Pup
Is it that Any form is ok as long as it

exhibit an understated elegance, austerity,a beauty of line and sophistication

.
But just don't call it something like twin trunk literati because literati is literati? There are no separate forms of the style?

[Jamie]

damn

i know what ya saying mate, bunjingi is bunjingi, that it nothing more nothing less.

in a sense of words?

NOW YOU HAVE IT sorry for shouting that is it. I you remember when I posted that group I refered to it as Bunjingi. Not a group of Bunjingi.

Could someone open a new thread, summarize and state the rules and critiria/requirements of entry for this competition?

[Pup]

I have started a new thread for discussion of the criteria for the style.
Maybe Brett can put up the,criteria for the competition. We have about 6 weeks before start time. We do have to remember that Stymie is 8 hours behind and I am 3 hours behind.

If need be I will add the written guide for the style. Remember it is a free style within reason.

Sorry Brett I forgot . Had to I have left you alone on them for long enough Pup

[Bretts]

I thought it was me but its not well at least I don't think so

[Jamie]

hey people

here is a tree i aquired today, i didnt have to pay anything for either
it was the same as the stump i received that i have in a seperate thread.
this on when given to me i have thought it my be a valid candidate for the vontest, the straightish trubk bonthers me some but i am sure we can work around that

hopefully pup and stymes could give me there opinions on it and everyone else ofcourse, the fact being i didnt have to pay for this was the major influece of it coming home

its a thuja oocidentalis, i know not a prefferable species but still something that could be a challenge, i would of prefered it to be of the sorts of juniperus chinesis or squamata or shimpaku but thems the breaks

here it is

sorry bout the pic, i couldnt get anything big enough as a back drop, its quite tall, about 7 foot.
