If you haven’t heard yet… Ryan Neil is now back in the States. Ryan studied six years with Kimura and his return home is certainly the major bonsai news of the year. I hope you will join me in applauding his achievement, and welcoming him home. And the best way you might do this is to bring him over to wherever you are—your club, your backyard, your convention—and congratulate him in person. And then have him show you a few things about bonsai.
I’ve been a fan of Ryan since we first met in Japan years ago. He is genuine, winning, and talented, and I am sure we are about to see a new era in Western bonsai.
Congratulations Ryan, welcome home.
With Ryan’s permission, I offer his email here for anyone who wishes to contact him directly:
