| The Beauty of Pots and Bonsai
Kunio Kobayashi:
Balance between the pot and tree is essential for creating a beautiful bonsai.
‘One of the duties of the pot is to improve the status of the tree; to raise it above the standard,’ asserts Mr Uhaku Sudo, a Keido Grand Master. ‘To understand the beauty of bonsai you need to have knowledge of bonsai pots. Kunio Kobayashi has a huge collection of exclusive bonsai pots and in his new book he shares it with all bonsai enthusiasts to learn from. The history of these pots goes hand in hand with the history of bonsai. It helps us to stay in touch with the past and helps us to understand the true nature of bonsai.’
Tomio Yamada, Executive Secretary, Nippon Bonsai Sakka Kyookai:
‘I congratulate Mr Kobayashi on the publication of this book, which will make many enthusiasts look at bonsai in a new aesthetic light and deepen their
appreciation for pots.'
