Take home a piece of Pacific Bonsai Museum with this unique acrylic keychain from the Small Talk exhibition.
Designed by Seattle artisit Emily Cowell, the Japanese Black is an example of slanting style bonsai, with the top of the tree well to one side of the base, suggesting a tree reaching for light or leaning from the bank of a river. The long, slender trunk and rounded crown give it a graceful feeling. The present elegant look of this bonsai belies its humble beginnings. Mr. Jizaburo Furuzawa, the original artist, propagated it while detained in a internment camp during World War II.
