A collaboration of Bonsai by John Lyall and photographs by Haruhiko Sameshima.
Haruhiko took some photographs of my bonsai...
They are serene formal portraits.
When I look at my bonsai I see the faults, the branches I haven't wired at the right angle, the trimming I need to do and the weeds.
In Haru's photographs they are timeless.
These are young bonsai, I have been doing it for about fifteen years, so they are slim but have elegant trunk lines and beautiful pots.
