The history of Bonsai



               Although the word ‘Bonsai’ is Japanese, the art it describes

               originated in the Chinese empire. By the year 700 AD the

               Chinese had started the art of ‘pun-sai’ using special
               techniques to grow dwarf trees in containers. Much later, the

               Japanese took over the art and refined it to what we know
               today as Bonsai.
