In Japan rages the mania of micro bonsai. The term bonsai indicates the ancient art of giving life to miniature trees. It is a typical tradition of the East which is now reaching new frontiers in the Land of the Rising Sun. How small can a bonsai be? A common bonsai, quite young, is 10-15 centimeters high.
Over time we act to regulate their growth and size, so that they adapt perfectly to the container or pot chosen. The bonsai should not have yellowed leaves or twisted branches. It requires the utmost care already at its usual size, but now the new Japanese trend requires you to get to work to give life to some bonsai in miniatura.
Just take a look at Cocaine e Matome Naver, two Japanese blogs dedicated to mini bonsai, to realize how much patience and skill is needed to make such really tiny creations. The very small bonsai are grown in jars that are held smoothly between thumb and forefinger.
These are small masterpieces that are made in vases decorated with floral motifs and bright colors. To give the micro bonsai the desired shape, very thin threads are used to stretch the twigs. It would be a real challenge for lovers of this art: to create bonsai only 3 centimeters high or a little more.
Between daikon e tiny maples, here are the images of many tiny bonsai all to be admired, like real works of art. A message very simple: everyone in every place can find space for a little one green corner and take care of a plant with love and with the utmost dedication.
