In a remote epoch, one person per day, or some great genius, easily impressed and was of great artistic beauty and grace of nature and have been moved have felt deep peace of mind when with the coloring. In the first hint of this feeling, the idea came to mind to put some of the beauties of nature in miniature, or other containers, copy the art of creating bonsai, potted plants or in shadow.
The first evidence of genuinePhoto of bonsai is dwarfed trees and shrubs in containers in a well-known scroll written in 1310. Because of the long era of civil wars in Japan, or £ cults natural bonsai, ikebana, tea ceremony and was on average of men and great heroes equally entrenched.
Then came the era Tokugawa. Leafing through the pages of old books in the Japanese garden seventeenth and eighteenth century was published, I have often met with illustrations and descriptions of bonsai. From these II am convinced that the people of that time very skillful in the shade and training systems and that they were a great desire, new kinds of plants that could be done successfully in the shadows.
What you find in these books, which may indicate at first sight, only a completed bonsai, but closer examination often than every branch of a tree, were grafted as a cypress, two 58 shot another tree. If the graft unions were completed, all branches of Sawara cypressbe cut and turned the whole tree to another tree.
These are not childish attempts or vague ideas, but they are the product of long years of military superiority in an era in which each profession was hereditary Tokugawa time was called. In this marvelous long peaceful years, the Japanese were accustomed to daily life into something that they are interested to flee, spends his free time to the things that freed from the constraints of social life;entered into friendly rivalry with other breeders or tries to surprise her in any way.
Therefore, improvement, discovery, and skill in the art of bonsai were very advanced amateur breeders. When amateurs have aroused their enthusiasm, are always involved, regardless of income, this approach greatly expanded bonsai.
Professionals interested only in the perception of the cream of ideas amateurs' and discoveries in materials. Therefore, I commendamateur bonsai enthusiasts. In Japan there are almost as many amateur bonsai trees. A large number of them are worth, say, GK Chesterton. "We are proud to bear the name of the amateur"
Example of an amateur
As an example of an enthusiastic amateur bonsai lovers, say you want a Mr. Watanabe of the city Takamatsu, a noted place for bonsai enthusiasts and bird cage.
Mr. Watanabe is a mercenary, past middle age. Since the days of his youth, when he worked inTakamatsu post, was enthusiastic bonsai as a hobby and had a varied and interesting collection built. Then, on a hot summer day in 1945 his house and all of his collection were burned and completely destroyed by bombs. A few years have gone empty. From and to alleviate the self-sacrifice, his enthusiasm for bonsai again, crawling back into him.
They are very young men who will try to capture the flavor and the pleasure of growing bonsai has come. Some Americansliving in Japan seem to be attracted to Bonsai "simply to waste time" as a U.S. Army colonel said during a training course on the art of bonsai. Undoubtedly, a more serious goal is considered by many Americans and people find themselves in other countries.
