SECTION 1
BONSAI
To have a good understanding of what Bonsai is, we first need to know
the meaning and history. Originating in the Chinese empire, Bonsai is
a fascinating and unique art-form combining Asian aesthetics and
horticultural techniques.
While the art of bonsai has long been associated with Japan, it actually
originated first in China, and then spread eastward to Korea and then
Japan. The art of bonsai was spread by Buddhist monks who wished to bring
the “outdoors” inside their temples.

SECTION 2
MEANING
OF
BONSAI
Bonsai refers to any tree or shrub that has been miniaturized by careful
pruning and tying of branches. Bonsai is not a species of tree but an art
form that reflects the connectedness of life and a respect for the beauty
of nature. These tiny trees, displayed in ceramic containers their artists
choose especially for them, mimic the mature trees found in nature. The
shape of the bonsai is as meaningful as its size.
Different shapes have different meanings:
"Formal upright"
means tranquil and strong;
"informal upright"
a curved trunk -- means steadiness through change;
"slanting"
an angled trunk – means stable under stress;
"semi-cascade"
a trunk that bends horizontally -- means staying
strong in a time of hardship
"cascade"
trunk curving down, with branches below the container
means change through challenges.
