Explore the ancient art of bonsai in the bonsai exhibit. The World Bonsai Friendship Federation was formed in 1989 in Japan by bonsai masters Saburo Kato and John Naka to promote peace and goodwill throughout the world through the art of bonsai. Monday, January 7, 2013, celebrated the official designation of Morikami’s bonsai collection as the 3rd WBFF Cooperation Center in the United States.
As bonsai master Saburo Kato said, “From bonsai we receive peace of mind, health, and life’s pursuit. We can also learn generosity, patience and even a philosophy about life.”
We hope to inspire, educate, and share our appreciation for this art with all who visit to experience Morikami’s bonsai collection.
