With just one plant in one pot, you can create your own personal vision of nature. This is bonsai.

We'll see how these living works of art capture a Japanese view of nature. Our expert guest is Minoru Akiyama, a young star in the world of bonsai growing. And in Plus One, bonsai...with action figures?
