This juniper forest on rock was created by Didier Weiss, a French amateur who regularly attends courses organized by François Jeker.
This forest was awarded by Tohru Suzuki when he came to France in 2014
Did you know John Naka created three “Goshin” forests? The most famous is exhibited at the Washington Arboretum, but he created two others, one in Latin America that no longer exists, and another in Europe. It is now owned by a German bonsai professional, Manfred Roth, who will lend this extraordinary forest for the BCI convention.
It will be exhibited next to another famous forest, made in 2014 in Mulhouse by five demonstrators each representing a continent, the “Forest of Peace”. This forest is displayed today at the Albert Kahn Garden in the suburbs of Paris and will return to Mulhouse during the convention.
