bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - GSBF: A Moment with Harry Hirao

Harry is one of the most greatly loved men in California bonsai. And one of the sweetest. He is the spirit of bonsai personified.

We have more interviews coming, they need to be transcribed. And tomorrow we will take pictures for each one. People have opened up their hearts and minds for us, when asked for an interview they have all taken time and great care to give us what they could. Like a cresting wave washing over us, with their philosophies and their dreams and their love of the artform.

No matter how hard we try, we can't see everything that is going on. We can't talk to everyone. We are being casually introduced to people whose names are familiar and important to us. And every single one of them is genuinely friendly and treats us as if we were old friends.

Indeed, we are very fortunate.
