Market Overview

Bonsai is the Japanese art of cultivating and training miniature trees in pots, which evolved from the traditional Chinese art of penjing. Unlike penjing, which uses traditional techniques to create completely natural scenery in small pots that mimic the exquisite shapes of real-life scenery, Japanese bonsai only tries to create small trees that look like real-life trees. The loanword bonsai has become an umbrella term in English, referring to a variety of miniature potted plants and, on occasion, other living and non-living things. Bonsai is not intended for use in food or medicine. Instead, bonsai practice focuses on the long-term cultivation and shaping of one or more small trees growing in a container. A bonsai is created by starting with a specimen of the source material. This could be a cutting, seedling, or small tree from a bonsai-friendly species. Bonsai can be made from almost any perennial woody-stemmed tree or shrub that has true branches and can be kept small by pot confinement and crown and root pruning. Furthermore, the increased awareness of the benefits of growing bonsai plants and decreased cultivation area is likely to fuel demand for the Japan Bonsai market during the forecast period.
