Nobuyuki Kajiwara

Nobu did a five year apprenticeship with Terukichi Kato, one of the famous Kato family, near Omiya, Japan.

This training dealt with the care and refinement of bonsai, and the display of trees, both in a sales environment and in exhibitions.

He has been teaching these techniques since 1990, working in extensively in Europe and the UK. He directs and teaches an in-depth training course held at the Crespi museum, near Milan, and maintains the trees in the museum.

Nobu was responsible for setting up the viewing exhibition for an auction of top quality trees at Sotheby's, as well as a major exhibition in Frankfurt Germany. He is also the artistic director for occasional Winter shows held at Capel Manor, North London.
