Some readers might disagree with the range of art forms included herein.  While bonsai is the most recognized and practiced of this family, it does share many features with the others.  Some practitioners of bonsai are also practitioners of one or more of the other art forms.  A common philosophical origin unites all of these magical miniature landscapes. 

To facilitate locating books on the various art forms herein, the following color coding has been adopted throughout:

Subject Code:  penjing/Chinese school , viewing stones and suiseki , bonkei , saikei ,
indoor, bonsai/Japanese school 

It is acknowledged that some degree of arbitrariness is involved.  Generally, if one of the first five above
art forms or styles is included in the title or is known by RJB to be significantly included in the work,
then the entire entry for that title is colored other than black. 

Please note that this is an ongoing project.   ISBNs and non-English titles are being added with every update.
 If you know of any additions or corrections or have any comments,

Specific thanks, so far, to 
Peter Aradi, Chris Cochrane, Herb Gustafson, Craig J. Hunt, John Romano, and Alan Walker
for their assistance.

And very special thanks to George T. Cole, Jr., his wife Nobuyo, and her sister Hiroko Shinozaki of Fukuoka, Japan for their translations and thoughts on a large number of the Japanese titles (only 1850-1949 and 1950-1999 A-J have been entered thus far).
