"When I visited your excellent site I
was initially interested in the John Naka section. However, I read further
and realised that your research into the history of Bonsai was the finest
that I have ever read. I am in the midst of writing a book on Bonsai, called
Bonsai School, and I would like to enquire if you would allow
me to use extracts from the historical sections to show the development
of Bonsai in the Far East...
