Fine Bonsai. The vividly photographed Japanese maple with its outrageous nebari, luminous leaves and tunnel that allows you to see into its midsection, is from the uniquely powerful and soulful new gallery book, Fine Bonsai, Art and Nature (cover photo below). This tree resides at the Shunka-en Bonsai Museum in Tokyo. No artist’s name is mentioned.
Commercialism? No! (well maybe just a little)
I hope that you’ve noticed that we keep a safe distance from too much shameless commercialism here on Bonsai Bark (our newsletter is another story). However, it’s that time of year, when lots of goods and money change hands in remarkably short period of time. So…
Set of three Roshi high carbon steel bonsai shears. We are very high on our Roshi Bonsai Tools. Especially when you compare their very high quality to their very moderate price. Our original list price for this set is 114.00. Our special price is only 65.00.
It’s new, but unlike lots of new things, it will still be exciting years from now. The best and most beautiful book we have ever seen on Penjing. And, just in case you aren’t so sure about what penjing is, or whether you even like it, you can rest assured that this is a top notch bonsai book and a true work of art in itself. List price 26.95, our discounted price 21.55.
Forget about Felco. Okatsune makes the best bypass shears in the world. In fact, it’s not even close. I use mine in the garden and on tough bonsai branches and roots. You can purchase these as a set or individually.
Roshi stainless steel wire cutters. Roshi Bonsai Tools are known for precision, durability, affordability and beauty, and these remarkable wire cutters are no exception. List price 85.00, on special for only 45.00.
Hand-built table top turntable work stand by Meco. It’s a stunningly beautiful work of art for your bonsai works of art. Adjustable, super sturdy, durable. A tool to last a lifetime. List price 265.00. Our discounted price 235.00 (actually only 223.00 after you receive our 5% volume discount). We also offer Meco’s Delux free-standing turntable work stand.
Enjoy beautiful bonsai every time you check the date. This lovely little piece of our 2013 Japanese Bonsai Calendar should give you some idea of its beauty. We’re going to sell out of these, so don’t wait too long.
Monster book. Here’s that cover shot of Fine Bonsai I promised you. It’s truly a monster. Don’t believer me? Take a look at these specs. Hardcover with slipcase, 12″ x 15″ x 1.75″ 416 pages with 281 full page photos. That’s correct, 281 full page photos. Just like the one at the top of this post. And it weighs almost a ton. List price 150.00. Our low price only 95.00.
There are a lot more gifts for bonsai lovers where these came from. Here are a few more suggestions for you.
