  • The History of Bonsai|
    Two Japanese words, bon and sai make up bonsai or planting in a pot. Bonsai is an ancient oriental horticultural art form. Bonsai is in excess of ten centuries old and began in China. The move from China to Japan occurred when Buddhist monks brought it over, tending the miniature trees with true compassion. The technique of bonsai improved and gained popularity with the Japanese. Bonsai is the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees by raising living, miniature trees, often over a period of several years.
