Look what a wonderful tree!
Do you know how small is it?
Bonsai (Japanese: 盆栽) is the Japanese art of
growing and training miniature trees in pots, developed from the
traditional Chinese art form of penjing. Unlike penjing, which utilizes
traditional techniques to produce entirely natural scenery in small pots
that mimic the grandiose shapes of real life scenery, the Japanese
"bonsai" only attempts to produce small trees that mimic the shape of
real life trees. Similar versions of the art exist in other cultures,
including the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese Hòn non bộ. It
was during the Tang dynasty, when penjing was at its height, that the
art was first introduced in Japan.
