Trees are often taken for granted. They have many utilitarian purposes as well as aesthetic presentations, from supplying building material for construction, lining the roads to improve the streetscape, producing fruits in an orchard and providing a collection of specimens in the botanic gardens. Often, they are a nuisance, clogging up the gutters with fallen leaves, cracking driveways or becoming a safety hazard during storms. They may not be appreciated for their intrinsic appearance until a detailed assessment is made about how their natural characteristics can be portrayed in a miniature representation. Progressing this evaluation process further to derive an artistic outcome is the core inspiration for the creation of a bonsai. The understanding required in the development of a bonsai becomes clearer once the application of both the creative principles and horticultural methods are understood. For those of all levels of experience, the Seven Principles of Bonsai Design provides a compendium of fundamental bonsai processes and artistic composition principles, all of which offer the guidance required to transform simple and humble trees into works of art.The creation of a bonsai is just the beginning, for these are living sculptures that can transcend an individual's lifespan.

This body of knowledge is but a mere fraction of what there is and will be. The journey continues - - -
