Bonsai. My profile picture Kuromatsu (black pine tree) died soon after I bought it because I didn't know how to take care of it. I went to a Bonsai museum the other day and learnt about Bonsai. How to appreciate Bonsai: Stand in front of a Bonsai. Squat down and look it up from the lower position. If you feel or see it as a huge tree then it is a very good Bonsai. How to decide a ranking: The shape of the tree. The age. The older the better. The history of owners. The definition of Bonsai: Describing a scenery in a small pot. Bonsai is a small cosmos in a pot. cosmos； space； universe You can imagine as if you are seeing an actual scenery. I've learned about Bonsai but I don't know how to take care of it yet, so I think I should take a Bonsai lesson someday.
