Mystery book and Interesting bit of history...
I've been enjoying looking through the books I've been cataloging for sale by our club. There's one I haven't been able to learn much about, although friend in Japan translated a photo of the cover sheet as -- How to Create Bonsai and How to Enjoy Bonsai. I suspect it may be by Kenji Murata because it has the same inscription as in copies of "Bonsai: Photographs of Now Famous Miniature" On page 233 I found this historic list that I thought others might find interesting... BONSAI ORGANIZATIONS IN THE U.S.A. (September 1963) California Bonsai Clubs Association (Northern California) Mr. Bob Miller, President. P.O. Box 434, Menlo Park, California. 1) Cascade Bonsai Association Mr. Walter M.

Included in this list was Jerald Stowell of Greater NY. Actually, he was
the first president of that club. At that time Long Island BS was a chapter of Greater NY. In later years, Long Island became independent and GNY established a new Long Island chapter in Farmingdale. Other clubs, including three in New Jersey, and two in Connecticut and one in Brooklyn were started with a nucleus of GNY members. Yugi Yoshimura was a driving force in the original GNYBS. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Webmaster" To: Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 4:09 AM Subject: [IBC] Mystery book and Interesting bit of history...

Yoshimura didn't come to the Yama Ki Bonsai Society, which consists of people mostly in Westchester County (except for me and a few others) until the 80's I think but I'm not sure. I wonder if the founding members of Yama Ki (1974) were originally members of the GNYBS.

Yoshimura was one of the original founding members of the Yamaki Bonsai
Society. Most of the original members were also members of the Bonsai Society of Greater New York, including Jerry Meyers, who was the "founder" of Yamaki and also a past president of the Bonsai Society of Greater New York.
