Bonsai
Book Description:
Bonsai is the ancient Japanese art of dwarfing and shaping trees in small
containers to produce miniature versions of
mature trees. A single bonsai may only be a foot tall, but looks
identical to a full-grown tree in nature. Careful
trimming, pruning, wiring, and other techniques are necessary to produce this
appearance. Bonsai outlines the constant
and proper care that will allow the bonsai to blend with it container in a
natural and aesthetically pleasing manner.
