Bonsai are trees and plants grown in
containers in such a way so that they look their most beautiful--even prettier
than those growing in the wild. Cultivating bonsai, therefore, is a very
artistic hobby. It's also a good illustration of the gentle respect Japanese
have for living things and an expression of their sense of what is beautiful.
It's much more involved than growing potted flowers, and requires a much bigger
commitment--physically and emotionally.
Bonsai fall into a number of categories
according to shape, but the most important thing to keep in mind is to allow
the tree to express its individuality freely, without forcing it to fit any
particular category, and to help it achieve its most beautiful, balanced form.
Why don’t you try to cultivate your own Bonsai?
