I first saw GOSHIN in 1979 in John's back yard. It was like visiting a shrine.

From what I have heard in the past week from someone who was just there is that the whole place has gone down hill in a big way. Most of the trees have been neglected for so long that they now are past the point to really bring them back in the original state....

It is sad to know that this exhibit is in such sad shape. But I do know that there are some plans in place to clean up the place and actually try to restore some of the trees. From what I hear they are trying to get a "bonsai" person to run it. That is what it needs to make it good again.

FWIW, Jason
