Bonsai art was closely related to the traditions of the Zen Buddhist monasteries and acquired a sacred meaning. Miniatures, corresponding to strict zealand aesthetic requirements, bonsai were valued as expensive sacred relics, which were carefully transmitted from generation to generation. These durable trees embodied the idea of the continuity of life and were perceived as a kind of life thread linking various generations. Therefore, for many families involved in this menu, bonsai have acquired many new, distinctive symbolic meanings, and, moreover, these trees became true works of art for philosophical reflection and meditation.

Already from 200m Before m.e - 400m. M.e. In the Chinese Han Chinese era, miniature groups of trees called "pun-čing" were cultivated on rocks. This created the art of miniature tree-growing, known as pun-sai in China. It is pun-sai that is found in Chinese written sources and icons.
Japan was introduced to this menu by the Dzen monastery culture in the Kamacurean era, and it flourished and spread to Momoyama, and especially to the Edo period. Only in Japan, the "pun-sai" was named "bon-sai". The rigorous chan aesthetics had a strong impact on bonsai art. He was closely associated with the dance of the monastery traditions and acquired sacred meaning. Miniatures that meet demanding aesthetic requirements, bonsai trees were treated as expensive, analogous to sacred texts, relics that were carefully transmitted from generation to generation.
These long-lasting miniature trees embodied the idea of life continuity and were perceived as a kind of life-thread linking generations. Therefore, in many families involved in this menu, bonsai have acquired many new unique symbolic meanings. The basic aesthetic requirement is that bonsai should be as natural as possible. These trees became true works of art for philosophical reflection and meditation.

Europe met bonsai in 1878 at the World Exposition in Paris, but did not receive much interest, and only one newspaper briefly described this exhibition. Eleven years after the World Exposition, the Japan Pavilion was well received by the bonsai show. However, bonsai gained universal recognition after the London 1910 exhibition and the first national exhibition of 1914 that took place in Tokyo. Since then, bonsai art has spread throughout the world. These bonsai masters who popularize this art form include Salvatore Liporace (Italy), Gary Tomlinson (England), Mark Noelanders (Belgium), Craig Casin (Scotland), Colin Levis (England), Alfonso Aparaisio Mena (Spain) , Paul Leehniewicz (Germany), Pius Noter (Switzerland) and others.
