BONSAI INSPIRATION

BONSAI ART PORFOLIO

The following bonsai were created by Bjorn L Bjorholm, both during his apprenticeship at Kouka-en Nursery in Osaka, Japan from 2008-2017 and at Eisei-en after returning to the United States in mid-2017. Some of these bonsai were created for clients, others for public collections and some for the Eisei-en collection. Please enjoy!
