Reflect on the beauty of Bonsai
View(s):
The Sri Lanka Bonsai Association will hold its annual exhibition of Bonsai “Reflections 2024 – Living Images” on November 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the J.D.A. Perera Gallery, Horton Place, Colombo 7. Demonstrations will be held at 3 p.m. on the 9th and 11 a.m. on the 10th.
If you are looking to relax and unwind, a visit to the Bonsai exhibition is just ideal. The word Bonsai in Japanese directly translates to “planted in a container”. The ultimate goal of growing a Bonsai is to create a miniaturised but realistic representation of nature in the form of a tree.
The purpose of bonsai is primarily contemplation for the pleasant effort and ingenuity for the grower. While a Bonsai tree may just seem a small tree, it really is a type of art, and the Bonsai masters who care for these trees are no different to a painter or a sculptor. So when you see a beautiful Bonsai tree you have to keep in mind the countless hours of work that it took to create it – just like art.
