Bonsai art spread over the whole world

Since the end of the 19th century the bonsai art spread over the whole world. In 1878 bonsai was the sensation on the world exhibition in Paris. At that time being astonished the people stood in the Japanese pavilion before the bonsai trees.
A bigger spreading found the bonsai trees from the middle of the 20th century. In many western countries bonsai clubs and initiatives were founded. They made intensive public relations for the fact that bonsai trees became popular with most people.

With bonsai it came to the meeting of two absolutely different cultures. Bonsai can be agreed only hard with the western art understanding. The western culture is defeated by rather head-steered principles, while Japanese artists work intuitively and put the model of the nature in the foreground.
Especially clearly this becomes with the garden creation. Thus one is reminded, for example, in the visit of a French garden with every step of the creativity of the person. However, a Japanese garden is perfect only when he stands completely in the harmony with the nature and only foresees the shaping of the people. Indeed, every tree and every shrub is formed by people, however, stand still completely in the harmony with the nature. In a western garden it is evident at first sight that it concerns rather a pure representation of the nature created by people.

In the meantime the bonsai art has found many followers in the whole world It has almost already become a movement which reaches round the whole world in peaceful manner. In the meantime even an umbrella organisation, the World-Bonsai-Association, was founded by the national bonsai clubs.

Also the ides Bonsai has become the general concept into many languages and was also accepted in most dictionaries.
