The Bonsai tree is a miniature piece of breathtaking natural scenery grown
in a small pot. But it is completely different from the average potted plant.
Pine bonsai and maple bonsai are something much more than potted pine
and maple. While the enjoyment of potted plants comes from taking
pleasure in the beauty of the flowers, leaves, and fruits of plants, the marvel
of the bonsai tree lies in the delight gained from recreating in miniature
form of the shape of bonsai plants as seen in the natural world.

of the bonsai tree lies in the delight gained from recreating in miniature
form of the shape of bonsai plants as seen in the natural world.
Plants in nature enjoy distinct shapes endowed by different landscapes and
climate where they grow. Bonsai seeks to present a plant's unique beauty in
a small pot. When one views a bonsai, one not only sees the plant, but also
imagines the surrounding scene. May it be the vast cypress forest where
small animals dwell and play. Or perhaps the unshakable pine trees
withstanding centuries of bitter rain and sea wind. One delights at the sight
of the tall reeds waving in the wind on the river bank and greeting the
running water under them. One rejoices at the rich fragrance of the white
gardenia flowers hanging over the stone walls in the hot sun.
Bonsai professionals devote themselves to creating bonsai works that inspire
viewers to imagine various natural scenes. You may wonder what a
professional sees when he or she is creating a bonsai. If you open up your
imagination, you will find bonsai viewing far more fascinating. Do you see in
the bonsai the elegant miniature of nature's great painting? What do you see
in the picture? A juniper tree on a mountain slope? Or a centuries-old black
pine with an enormous undulating trunk? Or a ficus tree with entwined
withered trunks?
What would you be inspired with by these views? Would you be struck by
nature's awe and fierceness? Would you be fascinated by living creatures'
perseverance? Would you relax in peace and quiescence at the view? Would
you be amazed by nature's resourcefulness? Would you suddenly realize the
span of space and the continuity of time? When a bonsai tree lets you see
the beauty and be inspired with something meaningful, it is a bonsai
masterpiece for you.

--During my first journey to Japan I saw the first time Kusamono. I was
visiting the Bonsai Village of Omiya and the famous nurseries there. But
I was lucky to be able to see the small garden of Fumiko Kato. I think
most of the visitors could not find this place or were not aware of it. I
had never seen such beautifull grasses and flowering plants in very
special pots. This view gave me an ultimate kick... (pull-quote)
