【Made to order】Four Seasons and Bonsai: Winter | Kamatsuka & Koke-momo

Kamatsuka Kokemomo with adorable oval-shaped leaves

Kamatsuka Kokemomo, adorable with plump berries at the tips of its branches and oval-shaped leaves.

The best time to see it is from December to January, when the berries turn bright red! In spring, you can also enjoy its small white flowers.

This time we have a medium size. The combination of the "Wakakusa" (light green) pot and "Biwa" (loquat) saucer creates an even more charming impression.

It grows vigorously with plenty of sunlight. Even when kept indoors, place it in a bright and well-ventilated location.

Occasionally, expose it to sunlight and wind on a balcony or similar spot to allow it to experience the changing seasons.

④ Goyomatsu (Japanese White Pine)

As its name suggests, Goyomatsu, with its leaves bundled in fives, is a conifer indigenous to Japan that is considered auspicious for bringing good fortune in business, thanks to a pun on its name ("goyo wo matsu" meaning "waiting for important business").

Small pine cones may appear from autumn to winter.

Yabukoji, known as "Yamatachibana" in the "Manyoshu" poetry collection, has been cherished by people since ancient times.

⑥ Asebi (Japanese Andromeda)

Asebi, a classic popular branch material. In early spring, the sight of its bell-shaped reddish-purple flowers blooming in clusters is magnificent.

Purchase here. (Size: Large, Pot color: Hyōsei)

⑦ Senjumaru

Senjumaru, a type of Kuromatsu (Japanese Black Pine), has a 'yatsubusa' (multi-branched) characteristic, meaning its branches divide finely.
