Bonsai Mike,

Try www.brusselsbonsai.com and www.koreabonsai.com and
www.evergreengardenworks.com . As for tips on opening up a shop, I'm
surprised that nothing about that came up during your tenure with Master
Bonsai Ikehara-san those 5 years since surely he ran his own nursery. In
the words from "Field of Dreams," - build it and they will come (provided
that you advertise like heck and put a couple of competitors out of business
so that the market is not so saturated with bonsai shops). In what city in
Japan is Mr. Ikehara located and what is the name of his nursery. Also,
what is his full name - Ikehara ...what?

Welcome to the list!

Kind regards,
