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.
