Koboku Bonsai – Art and Pottery gives him the opportunity to create art in many different forms: miniature living trees, fine pottery and visual art through painting and drawing.
Bonsai was introduced by Zen Buddhism in the far east many centuries ago (About 2500 years). Making its way to China, it was known then as Pun-Sai. Bonsai, some many years later was introduced to Japan, where soon after the cultivation for bonsai flourished and became more of the art form it is known as today.
This sounds awesome! Thanks to the Garden Club for making it happen!
