Exploration Stage: Japanese Garden
From: Lady
Description: The only way to show the invisible referee of the Japanese garden that Valerie is successful in the "trials and tribulations of monozukuri" is to understand not only that bonsai can be beautifully cut, but also the meaning of its form. I once grew a stock-stand bonsai for my grandmother. Would you be interested in finding something similar to that?
Completed: Valerie could learn a lot from a stock-built bonsai. See how all the trunks are coming from one stock? My grandmother said that this tree symbolizes the continuation of generations.
