A bonsai (Japanese 盆栽 bonsai, is a tree or a plant in a pot. This word literally means a plant (usually a tree or shrub) grown on a tray or in a pot (meaning 盆 good cup or tray and 栽 season plant). This tree is miniaturized by cutting and ligating its branches and leaves. We repot regularly to prune its roots inside and on the surface of the pot (nebari) to make an aesthetic work of art resembling a tree in nature. The word bonsai is pronounced in Japanese.

In Europe, bonsai hobby were introduced for the first time during the third Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1878, then in a private exhibition in London in 1909. The first reference to bonsai was made by Paul Sédille in the Gazette des Beaux-Artsde September 1878. In 1902, Albert Maumené published the first essay on bonsaïs2. In 1904, a slightly more serious approach was made by Henri Coupin. It can be seen on archival documents bonsai had absolutely different forms of modern bonsai. Their current codification date after the Second World War, and was mainly spread by John Naka.

In Europe, if the culture of potted trees existed in the Middle Ages (see the orange), it had never tried to recreate nature in a small scale. There are also only a distant relationship between the two types of culture. We can not see bonsai as a topiary, although bonsai, mainly Vietnamese, guided in their growth by metal son, had at one time represented animal forms.

The United States during and after World War II, bonsais were massively imported from Japan. In 1965, the bonsai were imported in large quantities to Europe by Gerritt Lodder, the Netherlands, followed by P. Lesniewicz, Germany. It took a few years, and the participation of Remy Samson to see bonsai to appear in France, where he experienced a marked success in the mid-1980s.

• There are no "bonsai seeds." Numerous species of trees can be conducted in bonsai. Simply use the techniques specific to this art. Therefore, Bonsai are not "genetically dwarfed trees."
• The age of a tree is not an essential element of bonsai. An old tree may be misshapen and unattractive then a seedling a few years may already have qualities that make him a beautiful bonsai.
• The art of shaping a bonsai is in no way cruel. Ligation and repeated sizes are not more cruel than the wind, rain, and climatic hazards as trees suffer the ground. In addition, a bonsai is usually fertilized and watered copiously to maintain its vigor that allows branching.

The word bonsai is pronounced in Japanese. A bonsai, Japanese  盆栽 bonsai, derived from Chinese 盆栽, penzai, "planting, caring for plants in a pot") variation of Penjing (Chinese: 盆景, pinyin: pénjǐng "potted landscape") is in Chinese tradition, a tree or a plant with one or desrochers and, according to Japanese tradition, a tree or a plant in a pot. This word literally means a plant (usually a tree or shrub) grown on a tray or in a pot (meaning 盆 good cup or tray and 栽 season plant) in the Chinese version, 景 jǐng mean landscape. This tree is miniaturized techniques specific size, and ligating its branches. We repot regularly to cut its internal as well as those who join the surface of the pot (nebari) roots, to make a work of art aesthetics like the tree in nature. The word bonsai is pronounced in Japanese.

History of Bonsai :

Growing plants in pots began in Egypt there are about four thousand years, mainly for practical reasons, utility and mobility. The Greeks, Babylonians, Persians and Indians copied the technique. The Chinese were the first to grow trees in pots for aesthetic purposes, in the era of the Han Dynasty (-206 to 220). At that time there was no talk of bonsai as a hobby, but Penjing (pénjǐng 盆景) (representation of a landscape in a cup). Shortly after the Qin Dynasty (220-581) appeared the penzai 盆栽 (single tree in a cup). Today, in China, the tradition of Pengjing continues, with more ardor than bonsai.

For proof of the existence of this art at that time, in 1971, archaeologists discovered the tomb of Prince Zhang Huai, who died in 705 during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), a mural painted on the walls of his tomb . She is wearing two valets, one a miniature landscape, and the other a lotus-shaped vessel containing a tree with green leaves and red berries.

Codification bonsai best known in the West is that of Japan. The event marked the end of the century the eleventh century, that of the entry of Zen Buddhism in Japan. New influences from China appeared in Japan soaking mainly the upper classes of society. During the Kamakura period (1192-1333), bonsai hobby were treated as art objects. They were a sign of greatness for the lords of the time. Luxuries, they mentioned a new state of well being that the refinement was pushed to the extreme.

In the twelfth century, Zen played an important role in the art of Japanese gardens. This is confirmed by the famous roller moinebouddhiste Honen Shonin, the Kamakura period, and representation of small trees aligned in cuts. You should know that the work of the monk trace especially life in the Heian period (794-1191). It is therefore reasonable to conclude that this art appeared in Japan later in the year 800.

More collectors tend to specialize in one or two types of work, even though some, like George Salting (1835-1909), was still a great scope for their collections.
