Deadwood is often found on specimens collected from the wild consisting of wounds or stumps occasionally from pruning operations or just natural forces. Andrés Bicocca’s credo is to transform these somewhat unsightly features, which some might view as problem areas, into particularly interesting and natural focal points. Using tools partly of his own design together with highly refined techniques, this Europe-based Argentinian achieves outstanding results on deadwood that have made him famous throughout the bonsai world and popular as a workshop teacher and demonstrator. In this book, Andrés shares his knowledge, skills and philosophy, illustrated with numerous examples and detailed photographs.

Lors de ses nombreux voyages au Japon, elle a visité des expositions de shohin et des jardins de shohin de manière ciblée. Elle parle japonais et a beaucoup appris sur la conception des présentoirs de shohin auprès de Tomohiro Masuri, le président de la Japanese Shohin Society. Son livre, qu'elle a produit en auto-édition, montre au lecteur intéressé à quoi peut ressembler un présentoir de shohin harmonieux.

Shunmyo Masuno, Japan's leading garden designer, is at once Japan's most highly acclaimed landscape architect and an 18th-generation Zen Buddhist priest, presiding over daily ceremonies at the Kenkoji Temple in Yokohama. He is celebrated for his unique ability to blend strikingly contemporary elements with the traditional design vernacular. He has worked in ultramodern urban hotels and in some of Japan's most famous classic gardens. In each project, his work as a designer of landscape architecture is inseparable from his Buddhist practice. Each becomes a Zen garden, "a special spiritual place where the mind dwells." This beautiful book, illustrated with more than 400 drawings and color photographs, is the first complete retrospective of Masuno's work to be published in English. It presents 37 major gardens around the world in a wide variety of types and settings: traditional and contemporary, urban and rural, public spaces and private residences, and including temple, office, hotel and campus venues. Masuno achieved fame for his work in Japan, but he is becoming increasingly known internationally, and in 2011 completed his first commission in the United States which is shown here. 228,6 x 25,4 x 254 mm224 pages, HardcoverISBN-13: 978-4805311943
