Description

Create your own bonsai tree in just a few hours with this workshop in Kyoto. Learn about the Japanese art of growing and cultivating miniature trees and bring your bonsai back home as a souvenir.
Learn the art of Bonsai, the Japanese art of growing and cultivating miniature trees in containers. Create your own Bonsai in a few hours using dead trees and dried leaves that cannot grow anymore. Take your creation home with you.

Bonsai is more than just gardening—it’s seen as an art form that emphasizes patience, mindfulness, and attention to detail. To make a bonsai, it takes at least a few years. There are some that are over 800 years old.

Instead of growing the tree, use dead trees and dried leaves that cannot grow anymore. By doing so, you can still use the real tree but you don't have to wait years for it to grow.

Not only can you use the real tree to make Dry Bonsai, you also get to send it to your country by international mail. Usually, people are not allowed to bring any plant in their country. However, since Dry Bonsai is not using any soil and it's using the dead tree and dried leaves it has been able to be sent by mail internationally.
