BONSAI — Japanese Miniature Tree Art


bonsaiBonsai is a miniature tree art originally started in ancient China.

About 10th century, it was brought to Japan and developed into forms.

The word “Bonsai” is Japanese and it means “tree-in- a-pot.”

The art of bonsai is profound.

It is like creating a three dimensional art piece with the power of the nature.

Unlike house plants, bonsai is more expressive and needs effort to make a beautiful piece.

Because trees are alive, they constantly change their looks.

It is interesting to have seasonally changing trees as bonsai ; for example, maples turn into red in autumn, cherries and Japanese apricots blossom in spring.

These three trees are popular bonsai trees.
