The Art of Bonsei

Every bonzi tree you see will be a variation on one of these themes. Or archetypes. An experienced bonsei artist like mister miagi can tell you how to differ from the archetype to take advantage of something special about either the plant, or its environment or its owner. Each of these 15 classic bonsi themes can also be expressed in geometry and math. And i have no doubt that a modern scanner plus a rudimentary ai could also measure a real bonsi plant and tell you which archetype it most closely matched and how to optimize it to match the archetype more closely. This is the science of bonsi.
