A book that opens up ones own personal creativity in Saikei

This is a must book for people interested in creating a personalised landscape on a pot. Never have i come across a book that allowed me to look at rocks in a different manner and arranging them so that there is balance and harmony. The author has managed to explain in simple terms and clear instructions on how to see a rock and arrange it in such a way that it becomes alive. There is more to it than just rocks...plants, pebbles, moss are all use to make scenaries that you wish you could be inside it. The author also shares his imagination with each of his creation. He shows us as well in step wise manner how he builds his creation. Best of all the hobby is not expansive and can be appreciated by all people.

Nice introduction to the art of Saikei

This is a nicely illustrated introduction to bonsai landscapes known as Saikei. Discussion of the different basic concepts of perspective and form is clear and enjoyable. This is a great guide to expand your enthusiasm for bonsai related art
