Description:
New York: Kodansha America, Incorporated, 1990. 10th Anniversary Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 10" x 7 1/4. 133 Pages. Previous owners name label with date "13 Jun 82" and price "$8.95" on front endpaper. This is the first book in English to describe the techniques of saikei, the most recent innovation in the timeless Japanese art of miniaturized plant culture. Saikei embraces the esthetic traditions of bonsai but allows a greater freedom in composition.

Saikei compositions are best suited to simple cement or earthenware trays that can be kept indoors or out, offering the city apartment dweller with space limitations or the person with his own garden equal opportunity to engage in this fascinating hobby.
