The plant usually does not exceed 1 meter in > height. The art of bonsai as we know it, traces back almost 2000 yrs. The word > 'bonsai' is made up of 2 Japanese characters or word phrases, "bon" & "sai." > "Bon" is the pot, tray or container; the "sai" is the tree or potted planting. > The original word Bonsai comes from the Chinese word "P'en Tsai" which sounds > similar to bonsai and has nearly the same meaning. It couldn’t be further from > the true spirit of bonsai, howerver, if we restrict our interpretation in this > way. It is indeed a tree in a pot, but a tree that has been subjected to a > number of horticultural and aesthetic disciplines through which visual harmony > and botanical well being is achieved. The essence of classical Bonsai is to > produce a healthy miniature representation of a tree. > > > > The ultimate challenge for the bonsai designer is to expose the essence of the > tree. The art of bonsai is telling a story through living illusion. The artist > strives to find avenues for personal expression within the confines of good > horticultural practice. Bonsai is a pleasant mix of form, thought and > suggestion in a miniature world and like all good art, it endures. > > Beginners and students often share the same concern: having the ability to > maintain a healthy plant. The key is in being able to control the degree of > stress that a plant will take and still remain healthy. "Stress" here is not > psychological stress, but referring to the horticultural practice of being > able to know how much is too much, and how much is too little. This principal > applies to all aspects to Bonsai culture, including air, water, soil, sun, > nutrients, temperature, altitude, pruning, etc. The challenge is to have the > willingness to learn, experiment and accept the results of these efforts. > Another aspect central to bonsai is time. The growth process takes time, and > there are no shortcuts. A growing year is the usual yardstick by which success > is measured. Caring for your bonsai over time creates a deep sense of > satisfaction. There is no replacement for time; it is always constant and > moving forward. > > Bonsai is about trees, trees grown in miniature. It is also about time and > space and about life and attitudes. Historically, Bonsai was a part of the > culture, an important part of family heritage. Equally, Bonsai can be simply a > horticultural past time requiring no more than a measure of common garden > sense, some artistic ability and plenty of patience. > > History of Bonsai > > While the art of bonsai has long been associated with Japan, it actually > originated first in China and then spread eastward to Korea and then Japan. In > addition, the art of bonsai was also spread by Buddhist monks who wished to > bring the “outdoors” inside their temples. From ancient paintings and > manuscripts, we know that “artistic” container trees were being cultivated by > the Chinese around 600 AD, but many scholars feel that bonsai, or at least > potted trees, were being grown in China as far back as 500 or 1,000 BC. Bonsai > first appeared in Japan during the 12th century. > > It is no accident that artistic plant cultivation originated in China. The > Chinese have always loved flowers and plants, and the country is naturally > endowed with a rich diversity of flora. The Chinese also had a passion for > gardens. In fact, many of these gardens were on a miniature scale and included > many miniature trees and shrubs, planted to reinforce the scale and balance of > their landscapes. The Chinese, however, were also infatuated in > miniaturization as a science in its own right. They believed that miniature > objects had concentrated within them certain mystical and magical powers. > > The development of Chinese and Korean ceramics played an important role in the > development of bonsai as we know it today. Without the development of > beautiful Chinese containers, bonsai trees would not have been admired as much > as they have been. Bonsai literally means “tree in a tray.” The tree and > container must form a single entity. Even to this day the most desired > containers for the finest Japanese bonsai are often antique Chinese > containers. > > Bonsai has evolved and developed along different lines in China and Japan. > Chinese bonsai is still very much in the ancient tradition, and often appear > “crude” to the uninformed. On the other hand, the Japanese styles are more > pleasing and naturalistic. The Japanese trees are for the most part more > refined and better groomed. Both types have their own individualistic charms > and admirers. > > In the post World War II era most of the bonsai seen in the United States and > Europe are Japanese in origin. The monopoly that Japan has enjoyed until > recently is coming to be shared with a number of other countries, though the > quality of Japanese trees continues to be of the highest quality. > > Finally, we owe a great debt to the Japanese and Chinese artists for > developing this beautiful art and for keeping it alive for almost 2,500 years. > Without their enthusiasm, artistic tradition, and patient stewardship, we > would not be enjoying bonsai as we know it today. The aesthetic sensibilities > of bonsai, which have their roots in the Zen Buddhist tradition, contribute > significantly to the complete bonsai experience. > > Artificial Trees > > Don't have time to care for living trees, but you love the look of bonsai? > Click onto our "Artificial Bonsai" and "Wire Sculpture" pages to view the work > of artisans whose creations will excite and delight you - and you won't have > to water them! > > Tools, Supplies, & Accessories > > In our enthusiasm to enrich your bonsai experience, we offer an extensive > selection of quality bonsai tools in both Beginner and Professional grades. > Browse our large selection of bonsai pots, soils, tree nutrients, > insecticides, figurines, T-shirts, coffee mugs and much more.
