by The Bonsai Tree Care on Monday, April 5th, 2010


Product Description
The rocks selected for this unusual arrangement are imported and washed in acid, making them strikingly unique. We then cut and cement the rocks to one side of the pot, leaving an ample well between them to hold water. A ceramic bridge is cemented to the rocks. A pagoda figurine is also added and cemented to the stone. To complete the scene, we cement a miniature, glazed, mud figurine fisherman overlooking the water and holding a fishing pole with miniature fish (included). A large area on the opposite side of the pot is provided for your planting, and decorative pebbles are furnished to spread over the new soil. The entire landscape is arranged in an attractive, glazed, imported ceramic container.

Mountains in the Sea: The Vietnamese Miniature Landscape Art of Hon Non Bo

From Booklist

Hon Non Bo, or the art of creating miniature landscapes, is an important aspect of Vietnamese culture. For centuries Vietnam’s mountainous terrain of caverns and outcrops, sinuous rivers, and verdant plant life has inspired the arrangements of stones, water, and plants set in shallow pots. With this book as a resource, admirers of bonsai and Asian art can obtain an effective historical perspective on a little-known living art form, and formulate a context encompassing the spiritual and aesthetic symbolism of Hon Non Bo. Photographs help explain the association of artistic elements and the meaningful countenance of trees, huts, bridges, and animal and human figures used in the creation of the landscapes; a step-by-step approach to making the concrete container basins is also illustrated. A commendable handbook, introducing technical information along with the fundamental precepts of building a miniature landscape. Alice Joyce
