bonsai

Bonsai is the art of cultivating miniature trees that mimic the shape and style of full-sized trees, using specific pruning, wiring, and watering techniques. Originating from Japan and China, it involves nurturing a tree in a container over many years to create a natural, aged appearance. The practice emphasizes balance, proportion, and harmony with nature, requiring patience and skill. Bonsai isn’t merely about growing small trees; it’s about artistic expression and a meditative process that highlights the beauty and resilience of nature in a contained form.
