Lisa Tajima's book POPBONSAI, published by Kodansha International goes on sale this week, and Lisa is eager to discuss POPBONSAI with us:

Lisa Tajima: I introduce my POPBONSAI idea in my new book "Pop Bonsai ~ Fun with Arranging Small Trees and Plants" published by Kodansha International) for everybody to share. It explains how to make your own POPBONSAI including very basic bonsai techniques, ideas about the structure of the tree, many examples for display, and so on.

The names of some of my original POPBONSAI designs are "Niagara fall," "Boomerang," "Dragon," etc.

I really hope these thoughts will help in catching your own imagination.  I would also like to challenge my readers: if you tried and if I have an opportunity, I'd like to see your original POPBONSAI designs you create with your own hands!
