A Sargent Juniper bonsai (in training since 1905) at the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum in Washington, DC.
In Training, a brand new photographic masterpiece by Stephen Voss has arrived at our warehouse and is ready to ship. It’s a book that started generating buzz way before it even went to the printer, including at Slate magazine in an article titled, Zen & the Art of Bonsai Maintenance. Since then it has been featured in a number of places in and out of the bonsai world.
Here’s a quote from Ryan Neil (Bonsai Mirai) about this remarkable book, “There’s an intimacy to bonsai that is largely invisible. It exists in those sacred moments between artist and tree in partnership; an understanding of what is and can be as it unfolds over seasons and years. Stephen’s photographs shed a quiet, respectful light on these wonderful moments. I feel fortunate to see such beauty being put into the world with the careful intention these trees deserve.”
Though you may not know it, there’s a very good chance you’ve seen Stephen Voss’ photos elsewhere. Especially if you are interested in intimate portraits of some of the most recognizable and powerful people in the world: Mikhail Gorbachev, Michelle Obama, Henry Kissinger, Desmond Tutu, Colin Powell, Bill Gates, Katie Couric… the list goes on.
Enough said. Enjoy the photos and feel free to order your copy.
