Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of the greenery landscape at Omiya Bonsai-cho residential area in Saitama City. The results obtained from this study are summarized as follows. Omiya Bonsai village was built in 1925 by the groups of Bonsai planters who suffered serious damage by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, moved from Hongo, a part of Tokyo city center. We can say that Bonsai-cho (Bonsai village) is one of the first Japanese 'garden village' because the model of Bonsai village was Yamato-mura in Tokyo and the community of the village was composed mainly by Bonsai specialists. A high quality greenery landscapes at Bonsai-cho residential area consist of mature pine and cherry trees and various hedges today. The remaining red pine trees and coppice which are the original landscape of Musashino region have been conserved by Bonsai-cho residents. Also, residents have planted and grown many trees for their hedge.
