About Bonsai
Bonsai is one of the traditional cultural art in Japan, which literally means "plantings in trays."
Plants are intentionally managed to be small sizes showing artistic views. You can imagine a large tree with a big rock even though it is just a handy size.
It takes quite a long time to achieve a good shaped Bonsai through the maintenance; watering, soiling, and trimming.
Not only observing but also breeding Bonsai is a fun, which is regarded as a sublime hobby.
