We Experienced the Wonder of the Bunjae Artpia...

Look at the pictures above again. These are not pictures I took in a forest of massive towering trees. All of the pictures above were taken at the Bunjae Artpia, and all of the trees are Bonsai. The height of these trees range from one to two feet in height!!!

At the Bunjae Artpia, our first stop on our Jeju Island Adventure, we learned about the art of Bonsai (or as the Koreans call it 'Bunjae') in one of the largest Bonsai gardens in Asia.

If one is truly to appreciate the Bonsia, one must stoop very low and put ones head under the mini tree. One must look from the roots up. One must not touch the tree or make an immediate judgment on the Bunsai. One must never ask the price of a Bonsai unless they are actually prepared to purchase the tree. One must ponder the lessons that that tree can offer us. One must never rub ones genitals on or against any part of the tree.
