The word “Bon-sai” (often misspelled as bonzai or banzai) is a Japanese term which, literally translated, means “planted in a container”. This art form is derived from an ancient Chinese horticultural practice, part of which was then redeveloped under the influence of Japanese Zen Buddhism.
While the word bonsai is of Japanese origin, the concept of this art form actually took root in China.
Some of the oldest Bonsai in the world are over 800 years; the result of many generations of patience and hard work.
