US NATIONAL BONSAI COLLECTION

In this episode Mauro visits the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum. A public museum located on the grounds of the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, DC. The National Bonsai foundation promote the art of bonsai and penjing to visitors through masterpiece displays and educational programs while fostering intercultural friendship and understanding. The Japanese Collection began with the gift of 53 bonsai from Japan on the occasion of the American Bicentennial in 1976. The trees, which were from private collections, were selected by the Nippon Bonsai Association with financial assistance given by the Japan Foundation. The collection, now numbering 63 trees, is on display from April through October in the Japanese Pavilion that was designed by Masao Kinoshita of Sasaki Associates. The North American Pavilion was dedicated in 1990 and it honors the work of North American Master bonsai artist, John Y. Naka (1914-2004). His world famous forest planting “Goshin” is prominently displayed at the entrance to the pavilion. Walk with Mauro true this magical place and enjoy the trees that made US bonsai history !!!
