Bonsai its Art, Science, History and Philosophy.
Page 9 (nine ) second and third paragraphs ( Quote )
Early reference to " Bonsai" is found in the " Seiwanmoen-Zushi ",published in Osaka in 1875. A special effort was made in this publication to call the hobby
" Bonsai " and this shows a change in attitude toward the art of growing miniature trees.
The Meiji Era ( 1868-1912 ) marks the beginning of modern Bonsai.
The Emperor Meiji, who himself was a gifted poet, encouraged Bonsai as a national art and the name " Bonsai " was made official in this era. The literati group was the main influence in the adoption of the term " Bonsai " at this time.
I hope that I have not broken any rules by this quote.
Yours in Bonsai Pup
