Bonsai, an ancient tradition with its origins in China, was
developed as a fine art form in Japan. It is a fascinating `living
art’ that captures the beauty and strength of trees and shrubs in
miniature. The ancient art of creating perfectly formed miniature
trees is clearly explained in this practical book. An expert
introduction describes the best trees and shrubs to use and the
importance of bonsai size, proportion and aesthetics. The art of
displaying your bonsai is also examined, with advice on pots and
containers, accessories and stands. Practical guidance is given on
basic bonsai techniques, such as defoliating and wiring, and
special how-to sequences show how to design 15 classic bonsai
shapes from formal and informal upright to slanting and windswept.
An invaluable visual directory of over 40 of the most suitable
bonsai plants, as well as advice on seasonal care and maintenance,
completes this stunning manual. Written by one of the foremost
bonsai specialists, the book features both portraits of excellent
bonsai specimens and practical step-by-step sequences.
