Dear Graham,
I thought I would add to your bonsai/shakuahchi inquiry. Both bonsai
and shakuhachi are also expressions for "ki", the life force, the breath
of the universe. The pot is a vessel which holds the pruned tree, a
dense concentration of ki, and the shakuhachi bamboo is a vessel which
our ki concentrates, flows through and connects with the universe. Then
again, everything is an expression of ki....
