Bonsai / 盆栽

Introduction

Bonsai

Classic Bonsai Collection

Bonsai (tray planting)is a Japanese art form using trees grown in containers. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of Penjing(盆景) from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years. Bonsai, as deformed a plant, the way it looks is based on the aesthetic of its maker. The meaning of its natural life is no longer existing. With the changing and development of aesthetic, technique, culture and etc., the exporting to different countries etc., as a result, the looks of Bonsai have been changing diversely, the types of Bonsai is also becoming more and more.

Relation to a Larger Context

+++

Meaning practices or ideas that go beyond the scope of your personal work. Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project. For example, if you are researching urban interventions, you might want to research about Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets. Or, if you want to explore the way data is tracked, you might touch upon the politics of data mining by referencing concerns laid out by the Electronic Frontier or highlight theoretical questions raised by Wendy Chun or others. (Keep in mind that we are *not* expecting well formulated conclusions or persuasive arguments in the proposal phase. At this juncture, it's simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon as your research progresses.)
