This training program enables you to learn skills directly from bonsai artisans in a historic bonsai tree-producing place in Takamatsu, Kagawa. Takamatsu Bonsai is characterized by its use of shohaku (evergreen needle-leaved trees such as black pine, Japanese black pine, Chinese juniper, and Japanese white pine). Trainees learn the basics of how to care for bonsai trees. The program adapts flexibly to students' levels. There are two training programs, a beginner course and an intermediate/advanced course. Students are able to choose the period of study that is best for them, from several days to three months. The school has accommodations for students from Japan and abroad.
