Inscription. Though an ancient art in Asia, the practice of bonsai spread through the western world only in the 19th century. Today, all types of people, not just scholars and experienced masters, are learning about and practicing this living art. As artists from different regions, like North America, create bonsai for penjing with their native plants, unique interpretations will emerge. Some already have—discover them in this collection.
