bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Pensai! How I spent my spring vacation

You don't get to see many Taiwanese bonsai websites, and information on where to find bonsai in Taiwan can be hard to find. Many of the growers are very competitive and don't readily share information. My sister-in-law made several inquiries before being directed to Master Yen, and his compatriots that I visted. Master Yen, on the other hand is very anxious to share Taiwanse bonsai culture, and was very generous with his time and information. I bought several Japanese stainless steel tools from him, at about 60% the cost I could buy retail back in the states.
If any of you also wish to further explore bonsai in Taiwan you are most welcome to look up Master Yen. He is anxious to talk with other bonsai enthusiasts.
His primary market for selling and teaching has been in South East Asia.
He is also willing to offer a 4 month intensive appenticeship to serious minded artists who have the resources, and ability to communicate.
Currently he is training his two sons who speak some english, so that they can travel and share their wonderful art with a wider audience. From what I saw of their work, they are quite capable and will be great ambassadors.
