In the latest NABF newsletter, Bill Valavanis writes about Yuji Yoshimura's
bonsai accomplishments
http://www.bonsai-wbff.org/nabf/news...yoshimura.htm.

Among a vast array of highlights in Yuji's bonsai contributions, Bill notes,
In July 1981 Mr. Y made his finest presentation at the International
Bonsai Convention sponsored by Bonsai Clubs International and the
Atlanta Bonsai Society in Atlanta, Georgia. He spent months preparing
the plant material, the appropriate music, clothing and staging for his
"An American Fantasy" demonstration, a large six-foot, three-piece
tray landscape which when put together, represented the entire
United States from shore to shore. The demonstration was performed
in a darkened room with only lights shining on his hands and plants in
order not to spoil the effect.

A bystander at the event (Jim Lewis, I think)

Nope. Not me.
