This beautifully illustrated issue of Geijutsu Shincho (July 2003) is a dedicated special feature on the art of Japanese bonsai, presenting the miniature tree as both living sculpture and philosophical expression. Through dramatic full-page photography, readers are guided from ancient, twisted juniper trunks to delicate flowering cherry and maple trees shaped over generations. The magazine explores bonsai not merely as horticulture, but as a form of abstract art, where line, texture, balance, and negative space are composed with the precision of painting or calligraphy. Alongside exhibition-quality specimens, essays discuss the aesthetics of age, weathering, and controlled imperfection that define Japanese taste. This issue captures a moment when traditional bonsai entered contemporary visual culture, blending nature, craftsmanship, and modern design into a powerful statement of living art.
