Bonsai Japanese Kanji

A miniature potted plant.
Bonsai japanese kanji. Tray planting pronounced is a japanese art form which utilizes cultivation techniques to produce in containers small trees that mimic the shape and scale of full size trees. They have nothing to do with each other. Turning to the sai kanji interpreted as planting or plantation it was pointed out by my pal s bonsai teacher that this kanji consists of the radicals for ground tree as well as containing sword and rain elements.
The bonsai kanji is therefore relatively well known as representing tray bon planting sai. In modern times the first character was simplified in japan and china. A dwarfed ornamental tree or shrub grown in a tray or shallow pot. A bonsai is a miniature tree.
