The work

In bonsai, a preliminary study of the nature of representation is necessary. Similarity, unlike representation, is reflexive. Similarity, whatever its degree, is not a sufficient condition for representation. The truth is that a plant, to represent and interpret a tree in a bonsai, must be a symbol of it, stand for it, refer to it.

And that no degree of similarity will be sufficient to establish the required reference relationship, if not the sensitivity and soul of the bonsai through the spirit of the bonsai.

A unique and complete study in the international panorama of the sector for completeness, innovative contents and didactic effectiveness that is aimed at beginners and professionals of bonsai. The reader is guided to the discovery and interpretation of bonsai with the best specimens of the Italian school. Illustrated by over 600 photos and explanatory drawings. Critically reviewed "the bonsai bible".

The author

Antonio Ricchiari has been passionately dedicated to bonsai for over 40 years and has deepened his studies of aesthetics, oriental philosophy and project design. In 1995 he founded "Progettobonsai" in Palermo, a studio where he holds alternating meetings with technical courses and advanced courses of various levels. In the atelier he collaborates with a staff that is also involved in the design of greenery and gardens. He made for a client the design and the project of a series of pots for bonsai.

He has an extensive publishing activity and has written and published 24 books and over 700 articles on specialized magazines in Italy and abroad on the subject. His publications on Aesthetic Studies represent the first innovative study published by a Westerner for the world of bonsai.

He has received countless awards, including an acknowledgment from IBS as "author of the best writings on bonsai".

He is a bonsai instructor and member of Nippon Bonsai Sakka Kyooka i. He is a judge in events, an aesthetic critic and for market evaluations of the specimens.

In 2009 he created and directed "Bonsai & Suiseki Magazine", the first online magazine on the subject, distributed and read all over the world.
