Niwaki best I have seen for the profession of aesthetic pruning. March 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been professionally pruning Japanese garden style trees for a long time. This is the first book that really captures what needs to be done and explains how the trees react to pruning. Aesthetic pruning is a mix between science and art. This book shows great detail of the techniques that are hard to teach.

Good instructions & inspiration March 11, 2008

I found this book to be just what I was looking for to reshape some current garden plants (hollies, pines) and plenty of inspiration to buy more to shape more fully in these styles. I wish there were more books in English discussing Niwaki, but I feel much more confident now than I did last week, and convinced my husband to let me prune away on the plants!
 Disappointing January 14, 2008

There is a real need for good book on this subject in English. Unfortunately, this is not that book. Many of the examples shown are of very poorly pruned or over pruned trees and shrubs. The author seem to proceed from assumption that because an example can be found in Japan it is inherently good work but this simply is not true. Avoid this book, it is filled with misinformation.
large tearing on the dustjacket of the new book December 17, 2007
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
I ordered two books from Amazon at the same time, but they arrived separately.This Niwaki book arrived several days late with a large tearing on the dustjacket and wearing edges, but the box was intact. It is obvious that this book had been damaged before it was packed. Avoiding the hassle of return I mended the dustjacket with tap. As a book lover I felt pain when I received my new book like this.
