There are a number of learned and experienced Bonsai experts in the western world but the Orient, and in particular Japan, will always play a large part in the development of the culture as a whole.

During the course of the programme you will be taken to the legendary village of Omiya, a place where Bonsai lives and breathes through the people that reside there, and to the Takagi museum, the world's first museum totally dedicated to Japanese Bonsai.Also featured is the tree dubbed 'The King of Bonsai', a truly magnificent 500 year old pine housed in a garden located on the Tokyo skyline.The programme also takes you behind the scenes to the private collection of the Katoh family, one of Japan's most famous Bonsai dynasty's.

For anyone with a fascintation and love for Bonsai this programme is invaluable and a true collectors item to be cherished for years to come.
