Welcome to Vriksha
The Art & Philosophy of Bonsai
The art of bonsai evokes the spirit of dwarfed and deformed trees and shrubs growing on craggy peaks and windswept cliffs. Eking out a precarious living in marginal soils and surviving severe weathering, these plants, with exposed roots and gnarled, twisted trunks, cling to life tenaciously. Some centuries-old trees never grow more than two feet high. Others slant so much that they grow almost horizontally or cascade down overhanging precipices. Bonsai is not an imitation but an evocation of nature, not only the harsh extremes of nature but also the abundance and perfection of nature. A magnificent, perfectly formed, healthy tree in a pot, depicting a tree in an ideal environment is as much a bonsai as a weather beaten tree clinging to a rock.
