16 Of The Most Beautiful Bonsai Trees Ever



People have been caring for Bonsai trees for over a thousand years. The ancient horticultural practice originated in China, where it was known as "penzai", and was later redeveloped under the influence of Japanese Zen Buddhism. The plants are kept small due to growth-restricting techniques such as pinching buds, pruning and wiring branches and restricting the use of fertilizer. It's a delicate and time-consuming process, but as you can from this list compiled by Bored Panda, those who persevere are rewarded with something amazing.

Artist Creates Bonsai Plants That Intertwine With Animal Skulls

Well artist Tokyo Bonsai Lifestyle did just that. They took something that most people find odd or off putting and created something beautiful. Take a look! ā–  ā€œErosion-erosion-ā€ ( Skull: Male Deer / Bonsai: Akebi) Akebi tree that erodes into the body of male deer without knowing it. Eventually, the akebi tree begins to erode not only the body, but also the heart, and begins manipulating the male deer as desired. The male deer do not even notice that they are dead and continue wandering through the dark forest. ā–  ā€œKing of deerā€ (skull: deer / plant: aloe, kangaroo pocket) A work inspired by William Goldenā€™s novel The King of Fly. ā€œThe king of flyā€ is a story in which boys drifting on an uninhabited island imitate the devil that appears in the Bible and worship the pigā€™s head where the flock swarms as ā€œthe king of flyā€. A deer skull resembling aloe as a corner and revered as the king of the forest . Despite being a symbol of God, it expresses a bizarre absurdity that wi...

The 395-year-old Bonsai Tree That Survived US' 1945 Hiroshima Bombing

      On August 6, 1945 , at a quarter-past 8 a.m., bonsai master Masaru Yamaki was inside his home when glass fragments hurtled past him, cutting his skin, after a strong force blew out the windows of the house. The U.S. B-29 bomber called the ā€œEnola Gayā€ had just dropped the worldā€™s first atomic bomb over the city of Hiroshima, at a site just two miles from the Yamaki home. The bomb wiped out 90 percent of the city, killing 80,000 Japanese immediately and eventually contributing to the death of at least 100,000 more. But besides some minor glass-related injuries, Yamaki and his family survived the blast, as did their prized bonsai trees, which were protected by a tall wall surrounding the outdoor nursery.  For 25 years, one of those trees sat near the entrance of the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum at the United States National Arboretum in Washington D.C., its impressive life story largely unknown. When Yamaki donated the now 390-year-old white...
