'Bonsai' is the method of cultivating an artificially
dwarfed potted plant or small tree. Growing minature trees in small pots
started in China. It was mainly connected with religious followings of Taoism,
later Buddism, and one teaching in particular: Zen Buddism. As the faith
spread, so did the small trees. Click on a picture to see a larger version. |
