I feel very fortunate to have met and participated in workshops with this great author and bonsai master, John Naka. John presented me with a now hard-to-get 'Hard Copy' if this one-of-a-kind book.
He was so good with his bonsai design drawing and I believe almost all drawing in this book were his own.
I have most certainly and carefully read through this great book many time and seem to learn more each time I take it down from the special place in my library of books in my home. My highest offer for this scarce Hard Back first edition book has been $500.00. Needless to say, it is not for sale. It is available in paperback and, of course, comes highly recommended by me. This is one that every bonsai enthusiast should own.
Rest in Peace Mr. John Yoshio Naka, 1914-2004
