One of the important issues for bonsai creation is how to catch
the specific characteristic and spirit of each species. For
example, Juniper – the most famous species- is grown in the high
altitude mountain, steep topography and barren land. Affected by
the violent geography and climate, it always forms natural
imperishable relics(Sarira(Sanskrit),
Shari(Japanese))on its trunk and
branches. Sarira is a dead part but is an awarding sign of
conquering difficulties. Moreover, its branches develop with
philosophy of “share and allowance” instead of “competition”.
Seem dead on one side (Yin-nagtive) but still living on the
other (Yang-positive); tender but never yielding; share but
never competing; Juniper, in fact, fully reveals the value of
overcoming and accommodation in adverse
circumstances. Thus, the deepest art is how to present such
features in our Juniper bonsai. |
