Here is an interesting sequence of photos created by an accomplished exhibitor to the annual Chiyoda Ku Yasukuni Shrine show who grows his JMG's on the rooftop of a building. It starts with seed planting, transplanting, pot culture, selecting, staging and ends with the final product.

I found it interesing to see the texture of the soil they use and the pot size etc. He exhibits using both types of culture techniques - the pinching method with no supports (those with yellow leaves) and the "lamp shade stand" method using three uprights supporting three rings.

Here is his home page. The link in the upper left is the one I posted earlier. The upper table contains links to pages for each day of the show with very nice photos of individual entries and a few showing the displays and staging areas.

The middle table contains links to pages of the various aspects of culture in more detail. Sometimes it is challenging trying to understand the translation, but you can get the general drift usually. After awhile it gets easier! All very interesting. I know I have learned a lot from them...!
