Bonsai are miniature trees and plants that are kept in pots in such a manner that they seem to be at their most attractive. In some cases, the bonsai are even more lovely than their natural counterparts. Therefore, cultivating bonsai is not only a kind of traditional Japanese art but also a highly artistic activity in its own right. It is also an indication of the Japanese sensibility toward what constitutes beauty and serves as an excellent representation of the soft regard the Japanese have for living things. It demands a far larger commitment, both physically and emotionally, since it is much more complicated than producing flowers in pots and containers
