Three years after the pandemic, the bonsai free market was finally held in Omiya, Saitama Prefecture during the ‘Golden Week’ holidays in May. Some bonsai were for sale from 30.000JPY (US$230) to 200.000JPY (US$1.538). Very expensive! Not only expensive but you need to have a technique to nurture a bonsai. Elderly persons used to spend free time on nurturing bonsai, but now it is recognized as an art for younger people.
皆さん、こんにちは!ゴールデンウィークは如何がお過ごしでしたか?私は、大宮で開催された盆栽市(ぼんさい・いち:bonsai free market)へ行って来ました。盆栽は買いませんでしたけど、ちょっとどんな感じか見に行って来ました(just to take a look around)。盆栽は、松(まつ:pine tree)か楓(かえで:maple tree)が多いみたい(みたい:looks like)です。盆栽を育てるには手がかかる(lots of care)みたいですよ。盆栽は結構値段が張る(ねだんがはる:very expensive)みたいですけど、時間とお金に余裕があれば(can afford)挑戦(ちょうせん:challenge)してみては如何がでしょうか?
