THE ART OF
BONSAI
In ancient times, the art of bonsai was the preserve of the privileged few in
China and Japan. It was associated with a highly intellectual, if not
religious, approach. Some of these plants have been cultivated for several
centuries, as generations of devotees of the art have lavished love and care
on their plants. The transition from simple gardening to bonsai culture
demands great enthusiasm. It is a difficult art, requiring a great deal of
application, of which this book imparts some of the secrets.
