Making Bon-sai trees can change your way of life.

You need PERSEVERANCE.

Critical attitude toward: - beauty - shape - balance

PATIENCE and HUMILITY are two of the necessary qualities.

An acceptable Bon-sai tree could not be made in few minutes. For REALIZING a Bon-sai you will need a few years.

To make it PERFECT you will need the whole life. As for all the form of art, it is an illusion and it will require a right combination among:

MIND - EYES - HANDS - HEART

in order that Bon-sai is the artist representation of the tree perception.

All these qualities need time to become fine, but with constant practice and good bases this process can be shortened.
