Bonsai are miniaturized trees grown in shallow containers under precise pruning and training rules. They are meant to represent a mature full-grown tree of the same species in nature.
The most important feature of a bonsai is proportion among the elements — trunk, branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, fruits and buds. Bonsai artists aim for a balance of the contrasting textures and colors of the plant, as well as the radial and asymmetrical relationships of its parts. Large leaves or needles are considered out of proportion, as are thick trunks and thin ones.
A well-made bonsai has a compact, rounded shape and horizontal or drooping branches that imply age and grace. The art of bonsai originated in China and was refined over a thousand years in Japan into a distinctive culture with its own vocabulary, aesthetics and cultural history.
The beauty of bonsai lies not in its final product, which is elusive anyway, but in the journey toward it, an adventure in which the grower becomes involved. With the patience to observe a tree and the skill to train it, a person can create a living work of art that is uniquely personal and expressive. In this sense, bonsai is a reflection of the Japanese values of wabi-sabi and mono no aware.
