Bonsai: Miniature Potted Trees
Murata, Kyuzo
In Bonsai: Miniature Potted Trees – Their Training and Care for Beginners, Kyuzo Murata offers an accessible yet authoritative introduction to bonsai culture, written with clarity and supported by photographs and line drawings. Originally published in 1964, the book covers the fundamental elements of bonsai care—selecting suitable trees, understanding the pot‑tree relationship, pruning, wiring, repotting, and seasonal maintenance—and emphasizes the simplicity and discipline required to transform small trees into evocative, mature‑looking forms. Murata’s focus on “miniature potted trees” reflects his philosophy that bonsai are not just horticulture but a way to mirror nature in a container, providing a strong foundation for novices and a classic reference for experienced enthusiasts alike.
