Literati Style Penjing: Bonsai Masterworks Chinese

Post by NAHamilton »

Just wondering if anyone has had a read of this book as yet? I'm becoming quite fond of this style and would like to know if it's worth buying.

Thanks,

I really enjoyed it. Of course it is Penjing but that adds to the interest and different trees. Well worth the few dollars in my opinion.

Thanks Watto, that's enough recommendation for me to buy it. The Penjing part doesn't concern me. I quite like reading about the different styles and ideas from other countries, Vietnam being a current favourite.
