Description: BONSAI-SAIKEI - The Art of Japanese Miniature Trees, Gardens, and Landscapes The very first book instructing the Sakei form of Bonsai, written by Toshio Kawamoto, who was the original developer and chief proponent of the art form. This English language volume was published in a limited edition of just 500 copies in Tokyo in 1963. This is copy #456. The book lacks the original dustjacket but otherwise remains in very nice condition. Aside from an owner signature on the first page, there are only minor signs of age or use -- no tears, stains, writing, creases, etc. A highly sought volume that rarely comes up for sale. At present I find one other copy online, listing for $2,600.00. Hardcover, 8.5" X 11", 361 pages, richly illustrated throughout. Ships promptly & securely.
