Question Asian Culture: The Reason You Bonsai?

I was curious, and if this has been a well beaten over topic and I just coudn't find it via searches, please just lock the thread and point me in the right direction


Anyway - so - Why is it you Bonsai? Could it be a love / influence for the Asian cultures?


Not being the oldest or probably the youngest on this board but feel I was probably born RIGHT in the center of when Anime and several other very Japanese or Chinese infulences really started hitting our 'main stream' growing up, I kinda feel the asian culture has been around me here growing up all along. Mainly from the media and entertainment area's, from watching americanized Anime [which slowly and slowly just became straight anime] and television that was getting into the 'Japanese look' or so forth, and heck perhaps even all those lousy Karate and beat 'em up flicks - it just seems a natural thing to love asian culture, and as a result, want to pursue some aspects of their interests, bonsai's included.


I could of course be off on a rant, I also love [most] anime [Japanese animation], and have my office decorated in a 'asian' theme for pete's sake, but yea, was wondering if this had ever came up, or what had interested other's in Bonsai's or a general asian interest. No, I am a half pakistani half mutt white guy, so it's not a question of being Asian either :lol: So yea - thoughts?
