Taisho-en is a working nursery in Shizuoka (the foot of Mt. Fuji). It is run by Mr. Nobuichi Urushibata and specialises in Shohin bonsai. That being said there were numerous examples of fine medium and large bonsai as well.
Mr. Urushibata offers 3 month student positions that can be arranged via THIS website.
Enjoy.

Mr. Urushibata,
Can you tell me more about your three months course via email reply.
I have worked on a lot of tropical & sub-tropical trees, but never have a chance to learn in-depth techniques on juniper.
Hope Mr. Ron Smith can help tell us on the student part.
Many Thanks.
Cliff
Mr.Urushibata
