      Which display would you have chosen?

      in RMBS Forum

      Here is my shohin display from the Virtual Show. The show was excellent by the way!


      The tree on the left is a Sub-alpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) and on the right is a Limber pine (Pinus flexilis).


      Anyway, I had several different set-ups that I played around with (Several I didn't like enough to even photograph). I chose a combination of my ideas, but I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas for what I could have done differently, or what you like/dislike about the displays below.


      Keep in mind, at this point in time I only own one singular shohin stand. I would like to expand on that eventually, but for now one is all I've got.


      Option 1:

      Option 2:

      Option 3:

      Just for fun, and a sense of scale, here's one more photo. (not a display option...) 😉

      Dan, Going for #1 image. Darn, thought #4 added a bit of whimsey. Pauline

      #1, do I get the bottle of wine, as you will not need it?

      Haha! Well, I just borrowed it from my wife. She's the one you'd have to convince to give it up..

      Option 2 is my favorite. I like the consistent theme and simplicity of the stands. Trees engage more with each other with the right-side stones moving left.
