This book was published in the fall of 2008. Much of it is from a journal I kept for 2 1/2 years while an apprentice studying bonsai under Shinji Suzuki of Nagano, Japan. While Part I of this book offers entertaining anecdotes of the lunacy that apprenticing can be, Part II are essays about bonsai. An interest in bonsai is not assumed or needed.
