Author: Shiotsu Botanical Research Institute
A seed tree is a plant before it becomes a bonsai. The authors, Takehiro Shiotsu and his wife Kumiko, run the Shiotsu Botanical Laboratory, a "seed tree shop" in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture. At the laboratory, they use various horticultural techniques such as seedlings, cuttings, and layering, and carry out the entire process from seed trees to bonsai. This book introduces over 200 types and 300 species of plants, focusing on plants that we are sure to encounter in our daily lives, such as cherry blossoms, zelkova trees, ginkgo trees, and pines, which are familiar to everyone. In addition, it also introduces essential bonsai tools such as watering cans and pruning shears, carefully selected pots, and base boards and mountain moss that enhance the beauty of bonsai. While providing basic plant knowledge, the book proposes a life with bonsai through familiar flowers, plants, pots, and containers, so that readers can enjoy bonsai, which has a high-class image, in a modern and casual way.
This book is a compilation and expansion of the popular serial "Plant Breeding" from the magazine "Florist." It is one of the books in Seibundo Shinkosha's "365 Days of Calendar" series.
