Kobayashi, a Japanese landscape designer who studied bonsai in Portland, OR, introduces his user-friendly style of keshiki (＂landscape＂) bonsai. Following a primer on keshiki styles and basics,
he presents well-illustrated, detailed instructions and plant suggestions for creating 37 projects that capture the essence of natural landscapes, ranging from minimalist moss arrangements to
miniature forests in re-purposed containers. Includes a foreword by a curator at the Portland Japanese Garden and observations on other artists’ works. Originally published in Japan in 2007.
