Crystals form the flower shapes seen in this Chrysanthemum Stone from Neodani in Gifu
Prefecture, Japan, which was polished by a river’s waters, not by hand.

Created by his father Tohiji Yoshimura in 1930, this Crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia indica)
represented a family legacy entrusted to the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum by Yuji
Yoshimura in 1990.
Yoshimura’s commitment to teaching the principles of classic
bonsai techniques and viewing stone principles that he had learned
from his father Toshiji Yoshimura was comprehensive. He taught
extensively from his home base in Westchester County as well as

traveling worldwide. Notably, he preferred to assist his students in
creating bonsai rather than establish a collection of his own. He
published many articles and co-authored two books, The Japanese Art
of Miniature Trees and Landscapes in 1957, and The Japanese Art of
Stone Appreciation: Suiseki and Its Uses with Bonsai in 1984.
Less than two years after Yoshimura’s virtuoso performance in
Washington, his living work of art would be joined by 53 other trees

and six viewing stones from Japan, leading to the creation of the
National Bonsai & Penjing Museum.
