As much as I like the idea, I’d never do it with my students. My youngest students know that food isn’t for playing, so I use Q-tips instead.

■ 【Tree Form-36】 Masterpieces of bonsai teach us the “meaning and value of tree form” through extraordinary, non-everyday shapes.
■ I visited Japan’s highest-level bonsai exhibition,
“The 100th Kokufu Bonsai Exhibition (Kokufu-ten)”
(February 11, 2026). Historic masterpieces can be appreciated there. The venue was the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Ueno, Taito Ward.
■ Bonsai (BONSAI) is a traditional Japanese art and cultural practice in which plants from mountains and fields are cultivated in small containers. Through techniques such as pruning and wiring, artists express grand natural landscapes and the aged appearance of trees within a limited space.
■ Bonsai originated from the Chinese practice of penjing about 1,300 years ago and was introduced to Japan during the Heian to Kamakura periods. At first, it was a hobby of monks and samurai of the upper classes, but during the Edo period it spread among common people. From the Meiji era onward, it developed into a living art form internationally appreciated as “BONSAI.”
■ In this post, I introduce one example of a work that received the Kokufu Award. The tree species is Japanese maple (momiji), specifically the cultivar “Shishigashira.” The exhibitor is Mr. Naotaro Hikida from Osaka Prefecture.
■ “Shishigashira” is characterized by its curled leaves and thick trunk. Please look especially at the relationship between the lower trunk and the thick, widely spreading roots. It is an extremely unique formation.
■ The tree form shown in the photo is in its leafless state. This winter appearance is called “kanju” (winter tree) and is the best season to appreciate the fine ramification of the branches.
■ Let us symbolically apply this bonsai form to the “shape of the mind” and consider what kind of “stage of mental development” it might correspond to.

The safest way to protect your trees and shrubs is to carefully lift branches upward with a broom and gently shake the snow off, starting near the top of the plant and working down.
Cheers to winter!❄️
