About
Hello all, welcome to my online blog! My name is Bjorn Bjorholm. I am the former apprentice of contemporary Japanese bonsai Master Keiichi Fujikawa. I spent several years living in Japan, a majority of which was devoted solely to bonsai study at Mr. Fujikawa’s nursery, Fujikawa Kouka-en, located in Ikeda City just north of Osaka.
During my apprenticeship, this blog functioned as a way for me to share with everyone in the bonsai community my experiences studying under one of the greatest modern masters of bonsai art. Since my recent return to the States, however, the focus has shifted towards my adventures travelling and teaching as a bonsai professional.
In addition to posting pictures and entries about my experiences teaching and lecturing, I will continue to add new stories from my frequent returns to Japan as I continue to study with Mr. Fujikawa. I plan to update this site on a regular basis so that those who are interested can share in my trials and triumphs in the bonsai world and hopefully learn from them as well. Thank you and enjoy!
