The Japanese have become world-renown for Bonsai, the art of grooming miniature trees and shrubs (usually various pines) to grow in small pots, trays or bowls. Bonsai evolved out of an ancient Chinese tradition of crafting small trees in bowls -- early Chinese illustrations from the 8th century show bonsai growing in bowls. The Japanese began crafting bonsai turned it into an art form that has spread internationally. Early references to bonsai in Japan appear by the 10th century. The point of bonsai is to "design" the tree as if it's a living sculpture, with careful aesthetic attention to composition, balance and blank spaces. Some trees are groomed to look like they've been growing on a windy hillside, with the branches leaning to one side. The same meticulous attention to trimming is often applies to full-sized outdoor trees in the Japanese landscape, in city parks and private yards. Bonsai's popularity ha sled to the formation of organizations and clubs for enthusiasts all over the world. One note about bonsai: It's pronounced "BOHN-SIGH" with a long "o" like in "bone." Some people mispronounce it as "banzai," which is a cheer, and has nothing to do with miniature trees.

What does the word bonsan mean in Japanese?
Bonsai (盆栽) (lit. tray cultivation) is the art of growing trees, or woody plants shaped as trees, in containers. Bonsai is sometimes confused with dwarfing, but dwarfing more accurately refers to researching and creating cultivars of plant material that are permanent, genetic miniatures of existing species. Bonsai does not require genetically dwarfed trees, but rather depends on growing small trees from regular stock and seeds. Bonsai uses cultivation techniques like pruning, root reduction, potting, defoliation, and grafting to produce small trees that mimic the shape and style of mature, full-sized trees.
