What is Bonsai?
Bonsai is an ancient art form involving a tree in a pot. It originated in ancient China. Dioramas depicting myths and famous battles were popular, and frequently they included small living trees to make the scene more lifelike. Eventually, the artform was picked up by the Japanese, who refined the techniques and typically only included a single tree or a small copse of trees. Today, there are many different styles and techniques. With modern tools, bonsai is more accessible than ever and can be picked up by anyone.
