Frank Fujioka Tribute

So many of Kaj Louis-Johnson’s fondest childhood memories take place on small farm on Whidbey Island where he’s surrounded by a forest of evergreen shrubs teeming with vibrant blooms. “It was like being in a wonderland,” Kaj said. “It was a place of pure imagination, honestly.” That farm was the place where Kaj’s great uncle, Frank Fujioka, created some of the rhododendron world’s most stunning masterpieces. Kaj, now 43, shared his reflections on the remarkable life of Frank Fujioka, who passed away peacefully with family by his side at his home on Whidbey Island October 26. He was 87.
