The art of growing miniature trees, plants and landscapes, Tatsuo Ishimoto - Japanese bonsaï and bonkei adapted to American conditions - Illustrated with 200 photographs made by Tatsuo Ishimoto - 

Bonsaï is an art from which has developed and matured over the course of eight centuries. It is a miniature living tree grown to great age in a handful of earth in a shallow container - a perfect little land scape, truly the creation of its owner. (Bonkeï are gardens in in miniature.) Now these ancient Japanese arts are winning sudden popularity among amateur and professionnal gardeners, plant lovers, hobbyists and flower arrangers. But until now these has been no book covering the how-to-do-it of Bonsaï in photographs, and adapting it to American ideas and American tastes. And as for time... In Japan, a bonsaï is oftern started by a man... to be enjoyed by his grandson 50 years later! Tatsuo Ishimoto's experiments have held to a brillant technique of creating genuine ancients, in miniature, with results in the first season. As in Ishimoto's other famous books, the photograph are all his own.
