Volume one illustrated with sixteen color plates and with several in-text and full-page black and white images and diagrams; volume two illustrated with several full-page and in-text black and white images. Volume one is a first printing, volume two is a second printing. Signed by Naka on the half-title page of volume one: "To Thomas Taylor, Welcome to the beautiful world of miniature. John Yoshio Naka". Also laid in is an original drawing of a bonsai signed by John Naka dated 1985. The drawing is done in purple ink. There are also two letters laid in: one letter is addressed to the inscribee from Naka, dated April 11 of 1983. The letter requests the inscribee to pick Naka up from the airport and includes his airport schedule and current address. The second letter is from 1982 from the inscribee to the author, confirming the author's visit in May of 1983. The letterhead is that of the Milwaukee Bonsai Society. The first letter from Naka is handwritten on his stationary, the second letter from the inscribee is typwritten with his signature in pen at the bottom. A fascinating association set of this reference work on the art of Bonsai cultivation. A bookplate in each volume, volume one with a slight lean and a small discoloration on its rear endpaper.

First editions, first printings, presentation copies, inscribed by the author on the half-titles to the bonsai master Richard Cantrell, with his ownership signatures and blind stamps. Each inscription quotes a poignant haiku of the author's own composition: "Last leaf has fallen. Tree will sleep and I will dream: Spring is tomorrow". Considered one of the greatest practitioners of the art, John Yoshio Naka (1914-2004) popularized bonsai in the West in the second half of the 20th century. Following a period in 1946 spent studying under Sam Takekichi Doi in Los Angeles, he founded the forerunner to the California Bonsai Society in 1950 and began to exhibit works and lecture around the world. His masterpiece, Goshin - "one of the most widely recognized examples of the art form in the world" (Huntington) - is displayed at the United States National Arboretum in Washington DC. In 1985, Emperor Hirohito awarded Naka Japan's highest honour for a non-citizen: the Fifth Class of the Order of the Rising Sun. The present works are known as the bibles of bonsai among masters and students alike. They provide encyclopaedic coverage of equipment, cutting and pruning techniques, aesthetic choices, and methods for achieving desired growth. By 1990, they had been issued in French, German, Italian, and Spanish translations. Alongside his bonsai art, Naka was a dedicated poet, and the haiku cited in his inscriptions was featured in volume 48 of the American Bonsai Society Journal. His student, Charyl Manning, wrote that "John's haiku is as beautiful as his bonsai. Three lines, fourteen words, seventeen syllables - creating a powerful image of renewal, hope, and enduring strength" (ibid.). Naka's inscriptions are stamped with his personal seals and dated 2 and 29 March 1982 respectively; the later notes that Bonsai Techniques II is number 287 of a limited edition of 500. Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, "Guardians of the Spirit", available online. 2 works, quarto.
