Bonsai has its origins in the Chinese empire. Approx. 700 BC miniature trees were already grown in China, called "Pun-Tsai" in China. Around the year 1100, Japan adopted many customs from China. This is how the art of cultivating miniature trees came to Japan. In Japan, the art was then further developed under the influence of Zen Buddhism. The name Bonsai is therefore a Japanese word meaning "tree in a pot" and it is even considered a living art form. Nowadays Bonsai is cultivated in many Asian countries, each with its own style and character.
