Competitive exhibition of the NIHON SATSUK! 
KAI of shaped and very old Azaleas trained as 
dwarf Bonsai trees at Hibiya Park, Tokyo. 
Azalea japonica of the Satsuki type bloom into June 
beside a roadside shrine in Southern Japan. 
Shaped Bonsai, or living Ming trees are objects of 
loving care and admiration in every home in Japan. 
These Pines are kept during daytime outside when 
not needed, on a sidewalk in Kyoto. 
Rhapis are the most popular Palms used in Japan. 
They are found growing in Chiba-ken, dug and re- 
established in jardinieres. Rhapis are durable; used 
here at the entrance to this typical home in Nara.
