About Bonsai in India
One theory about the beginning of Bonsai is that its roots actually originated in India. Ancient ayurvedic physicians returned from the Himalayas with shoots from medical trees. By growing them in pots, trimming their branches and cutting back the roots, they were able to keep the trees in a miniature form. The tulsi is one good example of this.
In the 12th century, Bonsai was known as Vamanatanu Vrikshadi Vidya in India, which translates as the science of dwarfing trees. The practice traveled to China and became known as pun-sai—the art of growing single specimen trees in pots. Various species of trees were grown with thick, gnarled trunks in pots. With its introduction in Japan, the art was refined to an even greater extent, and took a different shape over time. Bonsai artists gradually introduced other materials like rocks and figurines, with supplementary and accent plants creating miniature landscapes in nature, known as sai-kei. Finally, in the mid-19th century when Japan opened its doors to the rest of the world, Bonsai reached Europe through exhibitions. After about one hundred years, this art returned to India in its present form.
