Bonsai has been practiced in Japan since the Heian period (794 – 1191A.D.) when Buddhist monks brought bonsai to the island. This long history of cultivation and refining the aesthetic of this art has seen a fusion of culture and art unparalleled anywhere in the art world.

The following images are of some of the finest examples of the art from the worlds greatest masters.  If you want to see these bonsai for yourself you can contact Yoshihiro Nakamizu for a private tour.
