Katsumi Kinoshita Kinoshita-san is the sensei of three bonsai clubs: Monterey Bonsai Club, Salinas Bonsai Club and Akatsuki Bonsai Club of Fresno. He not only teaches at his clubs but also educates at the many bonsai exhibitions through bonsai demonstrations. He also donates his time to teach bonsai at the Japanese summer culture series in Salinas. His teaching is characterized by long hours of dedication to the enrichment of the art of bonsai. It takes commitment to travel from Monterey to Fresno for monthly meetings for more than 10 years. He was born in Wakayama, Japan and came to the United States in 1955. He operates the Kinoshita Bonsai Shop in Pacific Grove. He first learned bonsai from Mr. Oba of Berkeley and later from Mr. Murakoshi of Monterey. Kinoshita-san is well known for rock plantings and varieties of native trees such as Monterey pine and oaks. Kinoshita-san has spent 40 years teaching and demonstrating bonsai and is much beloved by his many students throughout the State. |
