After completing a traditional six-year apprenticeship in Japan under my master, Mr. Kunio Kobayashi at his world famous nursery in Tokyo, Shunkaen Bonsai Museum, I returned to the UK and settled in London, creating a studio and nursery. Since then I have travelled far and wide, teaching and working with bonsai collectors and enthusiasts across the globe on a mission to elevate the art of bonsai. Some of my work has been exhibited at the highest level in Japan, the US and Europe and in November 2013 I created and curated a novel contemporary bonsai exhibition, Natural Flux, held at the Brick Lane Gallery in London.
