A Green World of our Own – “Bonsai”, which literally means “plantings in a tray”.
Bonsai combines all the fundamental Japanese sensibilities into one art form: the love of nature combines with the deep attention to form, the fascination with asymmetry comes into harmony with the concept of wabi-sabi, and the reverence for life – and the joy in its tending – itself becomes subject to the artist’s creativity.
Bonsai are created from cuttings of a favourite plant such as Adenium, Tamarind, Banyan, Pomegranate, Jade Tree or Money Tree etc are frequently turned into bonsai.
The goal of creating a proper bonsai is to manage the growth of a small plant. The techniques employed to do this are many and intricate.
Bonsai may be shaped into a variety of established forms “formal upright”, “informal upright” variation, the “cascade” “slant-style” and “forest” style, with several trees in one pot. The form balances asymmetry, the correct use of “empty space” between the branches and the sense of movement in the tree are all foremost in the artist’s mind.
Similarly, we at Urwish look forward towards a vision to create a balance between the nature and all living organism with co-existence.
