Hugo studied in Tokyo with Japanese Bonsai master Kunio Kobayashi, one of the most respected and well known bonsai masters in the world. After completing his apprenticeship with master Kobayashi in 2015, Hugo continues to travel back to Japan for several months at a time to work at Shunkaen Bonsai Museum. Returning to Tokyo with Mr. Kobayashi on a regular basis has allowed Hugo to continue to practice the art of bonsai at the highest level.
