Bonsai like you've never seen before-a 'freestyle' version, in fun containers, that reflects the author's breakaway approach to this ancient art.

"... packed with excellent, full-color photographs on almost every page, illustrating her explicit instructions. Pop Bonsai gives you the how-to information and permission to practice the ancient art of bonsai-but reinvent it for today." -Washington Post "Fast forward to modern Japan, with Pop Bonsai by Lisa Tajima, who takes a cheeky new look at bonsai. She shows creations planted in beer cans, galoshes, funny pots. Heer point is to remove the intimidation some gardeners feel about bonsai and to show them how to grow their own inexpensively." -The Associated Press "Making the most of miniature verdure, Japanese author Lisa Tajima's Pop Bonsai updates the traditional art of bonsai by suggesting unusual containers (including beer cans and eggshells) and new tree shapes." -Time Out New York "Die-hard botanists and curious beginners alike will relish this novel approach." -Family Circle Home Crafts Magazine "...Unique and exuberant take on the ancient hobby of crafting miniature trees, is like nothing I've ever seen.... The book provides a wonderfully thorough description of the bonsai technique." -The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) "What is fun to read, however, are her words about how to use one's imagination, both in caring for the tree and displaying it. She also offers readers some clear advice on the use of imagination, and how to 'bend' that creative tool for one's own enjoyment. This is a wonderful book for any Midwest gardener who is frustrated during the winter months for wont of the 'look' of a green and growing tree....The paperback is $19.95, and worth the price." -The Star Newspaper (Chicago) "This how-to book would be of interest to both armchair enthusiasts and those with a true interest in modern art." -Rafu Shimpo "Pop bonsai very special. The author has taken the ancient art of bonsai and updated it to suit modern sensibilities, and has banished the use of staid bonsai pots. The results are wild and zany.... Bonsai will never be the same." -BellaOnline.com "If you've ever entertained any thoughts of getting into bonsai but were put off by the rigidity and rules in this ancient discipline, take note - Pop Bonsai is fun, fun, fun. ...the young and young at heart will embrace the whimsy and simplicity in this fresh approach to the cultivation and display of plants and how it can enhance our hectic lifestyles." -Winnipeg Free Press (Canada) "After deciding that traditional bonsai practices limited her self-expression, Japanese artist Lisa Tajima began to combine the classic garden art with whimsical containers. She calls it 'pop bonsai.'... Her bonsai seem to have personalities, and they sometimes appear to work or stand." -Des Moines Register, "... packed with excellent, full-color photographs on almost every page, illustrating her explicit instructions.
