Masashi is giving a speech with passion.
His speech was “I did not know that Bonsai was recognized widely as an art in the world until I made my way into foreign countries.
I believe that my activities are to meet and talk with people in the world through Bonsai.
I am unfledged both as a Bonsai master and a cultural worker but I will do my best to give everybody the best result when this project is finished.“
