Bonsai Lesson

Have you ever heard of Bonsai ?
Bonsai is the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees by growing them in containers.....(Wikipedia)

I bought 2 pine trees and pots at Toji Temple Flea Market to make bonsai with a friend of mine who is an Italian guy. It was for the first time to him make a bonsai. He likes growing plants and flowers and has a strong interest in bonsai.


First, we mixed up 2 kinds of sands which are appropriate to for the pine tree, and then cut off excess roots (Do not cut off the main root. It'll be a fatal mistake). It'll be finished if you put the tree proper place in the pot.


Please ask me if you have an interest in Bonsai. Although I only know very basic things about it.....
