Today was a cleanup and re-moss. Mike

Thanks David, and welcome to the forum. Years ago, I was fortunate to have had several workshops with Tom Yamamoto, who taught at the Kawamoto saikei school in Japan. One of my favorite memories of Tom is when I was attending a demonstration he was doing for a bonsai club. He saw me in the audience and asked me to come up and be his assistant. I felt honored. Mike

Saikei
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your welcome, I would love to have studied with Sensei Kawamoto or Sensei Yamamoto, they are legends as far as I am concerned. Alas due to finance I was left to study Saikei from the Kawamoto book which has yet to be surpased. I started my studies in Saikei in 1985, aged 14, which has culminated in being asked to chair the International Association of Saikei, a great honour. I am doing my best to further the art of Saikei in the UK by demonstrating at bonsai clubs and have recently had a tentative demo request from Croatia. If you would like to join the Association you can contact me at the address below. I would love to share ideas with you especialy as you have studied with one of the greats. Yours in Saikei. David
