Learn the ins and outs of proper bonsai design and care with this comprehensive Japanese gardening book.

Japanese bonsai have long been admired throughout the world while their care and preservation have seemed shrouded in mystery. The Art of Bonsai is, however, a comparatively simple art to learn. Anyone with a love for plants, a little patience and this eminently practical book can create bonsai and keep a finished plant healthy and vigorous for generations.

Included in this definitive volume are:

Detailed, illustrated instructions on propagation and training
Hints for those growing bonsai in a hurry and apartment dwellers
Daily and seasonal bonsai care practices
Dealing with pests and bonsai troubleshooting
How to judge, select and exhibit bonsai
Detailed appendices on tools, equipment, soil analyses
Data on more than 300 species of plants used in making bonsai

This classic work remains an eminently practical book and is the classic guide to bonsai care. It contains the essentials of an art that is one of Japan's most treasured traditions—sculpting beauty in living wood.
