Hey all,

Wanted to let you all know that the WBFF (World Bonsai Friendship
Federation) has just published a wonderful article about the history of
shimpaku junipers in Japan. This is a huge article that comes from a recent
Kindai Bonsai issue. WBFF obtained permission to translate and publish the
article due to a generous donation from Mr. Daizo Iwasaki (WBFF
Vice-Chairman). The article was translated by Ikuyo Shisaka and edited by
Felix Laughlin (WBFF Chairman and NABF President).

This is an amazing article and WBFF is fortunate to have been able to have
it translated and published in English. Please have a look at
www.bonsai-wbff.org/shimpaku/main.htm . Enjoy!

Kind regards,
Andy Rutledge, webmaster
