2002 June Meeting Demonstration: Harry Hirao

Harry Hirao is known as "Mr. California Juniper" because of his great success with collected specimens. Harry has been a strong supporter of Dai Ichi Bonsai Kai since the founding of the club. This year Harry and his assistant, Kaz Murai, performed another outstanding demonstration with this native California material.
