The graceful bonsai is the embodiment of an ancient art form in perfect miniature. Each is a unique treasure, sculpted to highlight its natural beauty and express a timeless tradition.
Bonsai are not only beautiful, they're a true, living art form. They represent the perfect marriage of art and nature.
And they have a storied history: more than one thousand years ago in ancient China, gardeners began to sculpt expressive, miniature trees from seedlings grown in pots. Over the centuries, the aesthetics of bonsai were keenly refined; their development required masterful skill and knowledge, and was passed from generation to generation. By the 17th and 18th century in Japan, bonsai were highly regarded as an art form, their rare beauty celebrated and revered. Indeed, in modern Japan this place of cultural prestige and honor is such that some of the oldest existing bonsai are considered national treasures. (Source:1-800Flowers)
