Bonsai, pronounced “bone-sigh”, literally means plant in pot. It is the ancient Japanese art and science of the cultivation of miniature trees through a traditional process of using horticultural and aesthetic principles. The desired styling is accomplished by a combination of pruning the foliage, wiring the branches to the desired shape, and confining the roots in a container. Bonsai expresses a maximum of poetic feeling in a minimum of space. Each bonsai contains the essence of a thought about the beauty of nature.
