NOVEMBER 2023

 

 

Sadly, we announce that David W. Fukumoto, president and founder of Fuku-Bonsai Inc., passed away peacefully on November 4, 2023 in Hilo, Hawai'i. He was 83 years old.

 
David is an internationally respected practitioner, educator, and authority on bonsai and penjing. He is the leading exponent of True Indoor Bonsai, utilizing proven houseplants, trained in the bonsai manner. He contributed to many organizations related to bonsai, agriculture, and the Hawai’i visitor industry. His vision of the Fuku-Bonsai Center was realized in Keauhou, Kona in 1992. Although it was well received, damage to the core business from a defective fungicide necessitated its closing in 1994.

 
His decades of effort helped expand, document, and share bonsai knowledge and philosophy. He helped to build community in the USA and internationally. He leaves a legacy of creativity, prolific writings, and many beautiful trees.

 
Mahalo and Aloha-
Fuku-Bonsai and the Fukumoto Family
