Description: Penjing: The Chinese Art of Bonsai Penjing: The Chinese Art of Bonsai by Zhao QingquanWith hundreds of color photographs and illustrations, this Chinese gardening book is a wonderful introduction to penjing—China's treasured bonsai art. Although most people thing bonsai is a Japanese invention, the art originated in ancient China where it is called penjing.

It covers the concept, history, categories, aesthetic features, techniques, display, appreciation, and preservation of penjing.

There are more than 300 lavish illustrations grouped into three different categories of penjing. The reader will not only be awed by the beautiful compositions of penjing, but will also learn about the Chinese approach to nature and to life.
