Bonsai Trees withhold the beauty and wonder of nature within its small stature. Some say the purpose of a Bonsai tree is to mesmerise the viewer… to adorn a place with it’s ‘grace’.
Bonsais are known to be grown in shallow pots or bowls, requiring specific care techniques and knowledge – such techniques and their principles originated in Japan from influences of the Chinese art penjing (6th century).
Because such technique and knowledge were highly regarded and considered an exquisite artform amongst scholars and people in distinguished positions, Bonsais became one of many social status indicators – only those in high political positions, places of worship or noble homes would keep a Bonsai specimen, and few of them knew how to care for them or could afford to hire a craftsman with the skills.
