Whether it's the cool serenity of a cave, the warm colors of the desert, or the lushness of a forest, saikei--the art of the living landscape--captures in small scale the splendor of nature. This classic form of bonsai contains miniature trees, rocks, soil, water, and related vegetation to form replicas of gardens, deserts, and countryside. Since saikei usually features young plant material, it is the least expensive bonsai art, perfect for beginners since you can complete a project in only a matter of hours. Understand the concept of depth in a landscape and the five elements of style (harmony, consistency, balance, scale, and interest), potting and pruning, and which tools and containers work best. Hundreds of photographs showcase masterful examples and lead you through the various stages of a unicorn garden, ancient gorge, and more. Published in hardcover as Miniature Living Bonsai Landscapes. The author lives in Eugene, OR. 192 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11.
