Personally I never really liked bonsai as it reminds me of a sort of disability. Tbh, I would be much more impressed with a bonsai at least the size of a man. Not that I'd ever own one. I prefer plants au natural, especially flowering or the edible type.
This is just another perfect example of making oneself happy using ones hands, similar to many things the japanese are known for. My favorite example personally is Scott A. Roush, a true artist:

- goldenkey 10y agoId say the knives are more pretentious than bonsai. I see no reason to buy a forged blade for a grand when a milled knife for 50 bucks will work just as good if not better.
- hackney 10y agoThe difference, which seems to have went over your head, is that it was done using the personal attention of someones handywork. Anybody can make a knife, just as anybody can create bonsai trees. The point is it was done by hand and was not manufactured. Just as the first poster talked about aesthetics. Similar to an original painting, or is it just a print?
- goldenkey 10y agoBonsai are similar though. We are talking about years of careful pruning and restriction. Most bonsais aren't sold before at least 3-5 years. That's a lot of work for $50-100.
