Memoirs of a Bonsai follows the life story of an ancient bonsai tree in Japan.
“A bonsai in a pot does not know the great forest”
Memoirs of a Bonsai, Tall Trees Short Stories
“Come closer, my little troglodyte, and I will tell you a story. My roots have not yet found their walls, and already my needles are lengthening. I know you to be the trapped spirit of Midori-san. I am only 562-years-young, with another half-life before me. Now, I will care for you. You may sip the dew from my needle tips, and pluck ants from my crevices. You will become reikon, a true spirit, and those will o’the wisps can bother you no more.“
