Welcome to Kitsune Bonsai by Mike Lane

Our Mission

"At Kitsune Bonsai, our mission is to provide new resources to aid in Bonsai education and to help the Bonsai community grow. We believe that Bonsai should be accessible to everyone, and that through education we can help people appreciate the art and craft of Bonsai."

The story behind Kitsune

The Japanese have a rich and robust folklore filled with spirits, monsters, and apparitions. Foxes, known as kitsune, were spirits imbued with paranormal powers that increased as the fox grew older and gained more knowledge. Likewise our mission is to offer educational tools and programs, focusing on sharing both traditional and contemporary information, to elevate each practitioner’s skill to the level they desire.
