Bonsai

The practice of keeping bonsai is preformed by many cultures around the world. The Japanese, over many centuries, perfected the practice. Traditionally bonsai is the practice of growing miniaturized trees and shrubs in a pot outdoors. The  goal being to create a small specimen to look like a larger, more aged version of itself. Many techniques have been developed and perfected over the centuries to achieve the desired result. The practice of bonsai is an art and each specimen is a work of art.
