Goya-Matsu is a 380 year old (1626) Japanese White Pine at the National Bonsai Museum. This tree was a gift from Japan to the United States in 1976 in celebration of our country's bi-centennial. Japan has donated 70+ bonsais to the museum over the years. We made this photo from a museum postcard. Goya-Matsu stands about 4' tall. A very large formal upright.
