Bonsai first appeared in China over a thousand years ago on a very basic scale, known as pun-sai, where it was the practice of growing single specimen trees in pots. These early specimens displayed sparse foliage and rugged, gnarled trunks which often looked like animals, dragons and birds. There are a great number of myths and legends surrounding Chinese bonsai, and the grotesque or animal-like trunks and root formations are still highly prized today. Chinese bonsai come from the landscape of the imagination and images of fiery dragons and coiled serpents take far greater precedence over images of trees- so the two forms of this art are quite far apart.

With Japan's adoption of many cultural trademarks of China - bonsai was also taken up, introduced to Japan during the Kamakura period (1185 - 1333) by means of Zen Buddhism - which at this time was rapidly spreading around Asia. The exact time is debatable, although it is possible that it had arrived in AD 1195 as there appears to be a reference to it in a Japanese scroll attributed to that period. Once bonsai was introduced into Japan, the art was refined to an extent not yet approached in China. Over time, the simple trees were not just confined to the Buddhist monks and their monasteries, but also later were introduced to be representative of the aristocracy - a symbol of prestige and honour. The ideals and philosophy of bonsai were greatly changed over the years. For the Japanese, bonsai represents a fusion of strong ancient beliefs with the Eastern philosophies of the harmony between man, the soul and nature.

In an ancient Japanese scroll written in Japan around the Kamakura period, it is translated to say : "To appreciate and find pleasure in curiously curved potted trees is to love deformity". Whether this was intended as a positive or negative statement, it leaves us to believe that growing dwarfed and twisted trees in containers was an accepted practice among the upper class of Japan by the Kamakura period. By the fourteenth century bonsai was indeed viewed as a highly refined art form, meaning that it must have been an established practice many years before that time.

Bonsai were brought indoors for display at special times by the 'Japanese elite' and became an important part of Japanese life by being displayed on specially designed shelves. These complex plants were no longer permanently reserved for outdoor display, although the practices of training and pruning did not develop until later - the small trees at this time still being taken from the wild. In the 17th and 18th century, the Japanese arts reached their peak and were regarded very highly. Bonsai again evolved to a much higher understanding and refinement of nature - although the containers used seemed to be slightly deeper than those used today. The main factor in maintaining bonsai was now the removal of all but the most important parts of the plant. The reduction of everything just to the essential elements and ultimate refinement was very symbolic of the Japanese philosophy of this time - shown by the very simple Japanese gardens such as those in the famous temple - Roan-ji.

At around this time, bonsai also became commonplace to the general Japanese public - which greatly increased demand for the small trees collected from the wild and firmly established the artform within the culture and traditions of the country.

Over time, bonsai began to take on different styles, each which varied immensely from one another. Bonsai artists gradually looked into introducing other culturally important elements in their bonsai plantings such as rocks, supplementary and accent plants, and even small buildings and people which itself is known as the art of bon-kei. They also looked at reproducing miniature landscapes in nature - known as sai-kei which further investigated the diverse range of artistic possibilities for bonsai.

Finally, in the mid-19th century, after more than 230 years of global isolation, Japan opened itself up to the rest of the world. Word soon spread from travelers who visited Japan of the miniature trees in ceramic containers which mimicked aged, mature, tall trees in nature. Further exhibitions in London, Vienna and Paris in the latter part of the century - especially the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 opened the world's eyes up to bonsai.

Due to this phenomenal upsurge in the demand for bonsai, the now widely expanding industry and lack of naturally-forming, stunted plants led to the commercial production of bonsai by artists through training young plants to grow to look like bonsai. Several basic styles were adopted, and artists made use of wire, bamboo skewers and growing techniques to do this - allowing the art to evolve even further. The Japanese learnt to capitalize on the interest in this artform very quickly - opening up nurseries dedicated solely to grow, train and then export bonsai trees. Different plants were now being used to cater for worldwide climates and to produce neater foliage and more suitable growth habits. Bonsai techniques such as raising trees from seed or cuttings and the styling and grafting of unusual, different or tender material onto hardy root stock were further developed.

Bonsai has now evolved to reflect changing tastes and times - with a great variety of countries, cultures and conditions in which it is now practiced.

In Japan today, bonsai are highly regared as a symbol of their culture and ideals. The New Year is not complete unless the tokonoma - the special niche in every Japanese home used for the display of ornaments and prized possessions - is filled with a blossoming apricot or plum tree. Bonsai is no longer reserved for the upper-class, but is a joy shared by executive and factory worker alike.

The Japanese tend to focus on using native species for their bonsai - namely pines, azaleas and maples (regarded as the traditional bonsai plants). In other countries however, people are more open to opinion.

The evolution of bonsai over the past two centuries is truly amazing - now a well known and respected horticultural artform that has spread throughout the world from Greenland to the U.S. to South Africa to Australia. It is constantly changing and reaching even greater heights, representative of how small the world is really getting.

Bonsai sesuai di laman sempit
Oleh Norakmah Mat Youb


Kreativiti bukan sekadar bantutkan pokok, juga sebagai dekorasi

TIDAK semua orang mampu menghayati keindahan dan keunikan tanaman bonsai. Namun, apabila hati sudah terpaut, bonsai sering dijadikan pilihan utama menghias kediaman sama ada luar atau dalam.


Bonsai, sejenis tumbuhan dalam pasu yang sengaja dikatikkan untuk memaparkan keindahan seni gubahan daun, susunan ranting serta nilai keunikan batang dan akarnya.

Dalam bahasa Jepun, bonsai bermaksud 'tanaman dalam pasu'. Pokok yang dibonsaikan umumnya pohon berkayu (misalnya pohon beringin) atau pohon bunga, tidak ketinggalan pokok buah-buahan.


BONSAI bukan semata-mata pokok, tetapi
suatu pemandangan kehidupan.

Pakar bonsai Britain, Peter D Adams, berkata bonsai turut menjadi kegilaan masyarakat Jepun sekitar 1,000 tahun lalu dengan menceduk idea seni halus tumbuhan dari China dengan pengubahsuaian dekorasi dan penghasilan lebih bernilai.

Bonsai kali pertama diperkenalkan di China kira-kira 1,000 tahun lalu, namun dilanjutkan penanaman oleh masyarakat Jepun. Penanaman bonsai paling banyak di Jepun, tetapi kini semakin digemari di negara kita.

Kesan artistik daripada bonsai dilihat daripada keseimbangan dalam ukuran batang, daun, ranting bunga, selain bentuk pasu yang digunakan. Pasu yang dipakai haruslah yang mendukung suasana pohon yang ditanam dan lazimnya berbentuk kawah dengan permukaannya lebih besar.

Pemilik Sanfong Bonsai & Art Garden, Fanny Lim, berkata nama bonsai begitu sinonim dengan Jepun dan umumnya mengetahui seni `membantut' pokok itu warisan negara matahari terbit berkenaan sejak berabad lalu dan kini muncul menjadi penghias laman dan taman di seluruh dunia.

Beliau berkata, ada beberapa ukuran bonsai yang digunakan iaitu miniatur, kecil dan sederhana. Miniatur biasanya berukuran tinggi sekitar lima sentimeter (sm) dan cantik ketika berusia tiga hingga lima tahun.

"Bonsai kecil biasanya mempunyai tinggi lima hingga 15 sm dan memerlukan persiapan sekitar lima hingga 10 tahun. Bonsai ukuran sederhana mempunyai ketinggian antara 15 hingga 30 sm, dan bonsai agak besar mempunyai tinggi 60 sm dengan waktu persiapan lebih singkat.


BONSAI perlu diikat dengan dawai
bagi membentuk dahan.

"Ada pelbagai gaya bonsai, tetapi hanya 10 pokok saja dikenal pasti memberi nilai seni yang tinggi iaitu pokok beech, Chinese Elm, Chinese Juniper, Crab Apple, Firethon, Japanese Black, Pine, Japanese Larch, Japanese Maple, Japanese White Pine dan Trident Maple," katanya.

Beliau berkata, untuk iklim negara ini, anak benih yang sesuai ditanam adalah daripada spesies ara Taiwan atau dikenali sebagai `ficus microcarpa', jejawi (ficus benjamina) dan kemuning (muraya exotica).

"Pokok ini tahan cantasan. Memiliki tekstur sederhana halus dan padat dengan daunnya hijau berkilat memang senang digubah. Pokok yang selama ini terbiar bersama spesies lain daripada keluarga sama iaitu marraya koenigii atau lebih dikenali pokok daun kari semakin bernilai harganya," katanya.

Beliau berkata, bonsai turut menjalani perubahan dan bukan sekadar hanya ditanam satu pokok semata-mata, tetapi ia turut berubah dengan peredaran zaman dan ditambah dengan kreativiti individu menjadikan ia pilihan kebanyakan pemilik kediaman yang mempunyai laman terhad.

Dikenali sebagai mambonsai, ia satu kreativiti yang bukan sekadar membantutkan pokok, tetapi menjadikan seni hias pokoknya sebagai dekorasi figura, sekali gus memberikan dimensi abstrak kepada bonsai.

揃onsai jenis ini sesuai bagi kediaman tidak mempunyai laman luas dan pemiliknya tidak gemar tumbuhan terlalu besar menutup pemandangan apabila bersantai di laman. Ia boleh dikatakan baru dalam seni taman.

揈ra moden bonsai sebenarnya bermula 20 tahun dulu di sebuah parit di luar rumah seorang ahli muzik mambo Jepun terkenal, Paradise Yamamoto. Pada suatu hari Yamamoto tertarik apabila melihat lumut tumbuh di parit rumahnya dan sejak itu, dia menanam lumut di dalam bekas kecil.

"Apabila meletakkan kereta api miniatur di atas lumut itu, dia menyedari sesuatu. Dia tidak lagi berdepan dengan pasu, tetapi landskap besar Pulau Hokkaido. Idea yang datang kepada dirinya ialah melihat bonsai tidak sebagai pokok semata-mata, tetapi suatu pemandangan kehidupan," katanya.

Beliau berkata, bonsai yang dimiliki Yamamoto, termasuk yang menampilkan gaya istimewa pemimpin Korea Utara, Kim Jong-Il, siri tumbuhan asing merayap dari bawah dahan bonsai dan pelbagai lagi yang melambangkan kehidupan.

Katanya, pelbagai jenis dan ditempah oleh pelanggan mengikut cita rasa masing-masing kerana taman bonsai ini mudah dan mengambil masa singkat untuk disiapkan. Material pula kebanyakan diimport dari China kerana lebih berkualiti.

揌arga sebuah mambosai bergantung kepada pokok dan pasu yang digunakan. Semakin lama jangka hayat pokok, semakin mahal harganya. Pemilik kediaman boleh mendapatkannya dari harga serendah RM50,
