Title Kakuryuan Bonsai Collection
Supervising Editor Kimura Masahiko
This is an extremely rare and deluxe bonsai book supervised by Kimura Masahiko.It is written both in Japanese and in English.
Kimura Masahiko says,"Mr Kenichi Oguchi has long benn a famous and important figure as a bonsia collection in the world.His name has been in my mind since quite a long time ago.But the first time I met him was when I was asked to take care of his treasured trees in the late fall of 1983.
Being an active entrepreneur in the business world,and having a knowledge of what real life is with a large amount of experiences ,he has been cultivating his own sense of the aesthetic by mastering Japanese calligraphy and many other arts.When he turns to bonsai he pints out the essential qualities of beauty with his original point of view which seems to penetrate everything keenly,but still he has a gentle and generous personality.Thus I learned a lot of him.
If Kakuryuan bonsai collection is not merely a collection book of a man's life with bonsai but stimulates people all over the world to get involved in this peaceful art,it will help to deepen international excahanges as MRr.Oguchi hopes.Also if it helps to male bonsai more popular and better understood,I take it as a great honor to be a supervisor of this book"
