Kaneshin Cutlery Mfg Co. Ltd.
The trademark 'KANESHIN' that is used for our scissors, shears and garden tools is the creation of a very well known japanese master swordmaker Magoroku of Sanbon-Sugi Yakiba, which originated in a place called seki, japan. This place has been in existence for the past seven hundred years. These craftsmen are considered to be the best in the making of the traditional swords. This secret technique has been handed down from generation to generation. Every fact of steel and metal processing has been researched and improved under scientific testing methods until we are satisfied with our product. We pride ourselves by handmaking each individual tool.

Ron Lang Bonsai Containers
The challenge of the bonsai potter is to provide fresh options, subtlety and variety for bonsai artists. Pots that come on strong, that make too much of a statement all on their own and have too much "ego" are difficult to marry off. But the opposite extreme is just as problematic, the generic, the mass produced and anonymous manufactured containers offer little opportunity for nuances in relationships beyond traditional arrangements. I try to make containers that have life, that take breath, that move, that are not static. The successful pairing of tree and container is a collaborative gestalt.

Robert Kempinski
Living in central Florida, USA, my collection is a mix of tropical and temperate trees that can take the heat of our summers and very mild winters. I especially like Buttonwood, Japanese Black Pine and Willow Leaf Ficus trees. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively around the US and the world visiting bonsai gardens and exhibitions. Lately I have been traveling sharing my knowledge and approach to bonsai, which as you can tell from my opening is both light hearted but earnest.
