Minoru Akiyama - Minoru, age 33, is a second generation bonsai artist from Nirasaki in Yamanashi Prefecture. After graduating from high school, Minoru apprenticed for six years under Kunio Kobayashi at Shunkaen. After completing his apprenticeship in 2003, Minoru quickly established himself as a rising star in the Japanese Bonsai community. At age 29, he was the youngest person ever to win the Prime Minister’s award at the Sakafu exhibition, the highest accolade for a professional bonsai artist. He won this award again in 2011, both times using junipers collected by his father, a renowned yamadori collector. He has won many other awards at Sakafu and won the top prize at Kojuten, the professional Satsuki exhibition. Well versed in all species of trees, he specializes in Junipers, Taxus, Prunus, Azalea and White Pines.

Peter Warren, from the United Kingdom, age 34, grew up in the North Yorkshire, UK countryside and studied Astrophysics at Leicester University. He became captivated with bonsai on a recreational trip to Japan. He did a five-year apprenticeship with Kunio Kobayashi at Shunkaen in Tokyo, Japan. Minoru Akiyama was still an apprentice at Shunkaen at the time and was a massively influential figure in Peter’s education. Peter returned to the UK and opened his own studio, Saruyama (literally: “monkey mountain”), dedicating himself to spreading knowledge of bonsai in the west. He has been featured demonstrator at a number of European and American conventions and returns to Japan several times a year to polish up his skills and to repay his debt to Mr. Kobayashi. He favors an elegant and more classical style of tree and takes a pragmatic approach to bonsai design and cultivation, preferring to draw out the character of the tree rather than impose one upon it. Equally happy working with deciduous trees and conifers, his favorite species include Junipers, Spruce, Rosemary and anything a little more unusual.
