In
the West we have a totally
different concept of time
compared to the East. |
|
| |
|
Our time has a linear
structure with a
beginning, that
coincides with birth,
and an end, with death.
In the Buddhist culture,
for instance, life doesn’t begin or end
because the living being
reincarnates. Therefore
time has a circular
movement. |

The
bonsaist’s project doesn’t end
when he achieves the imagined
shape of a pretty bonsai,
because the tree will always
need to be cared for and, as a
living being, will change its
shape as it ages.

The
great master John Yoshio Naka,
deceased Spring 2004, though
being 90 years old, continued to
look after young plants which he
knew he would never see become
real bonsais. He didn’t aim at
accomplishing a bonsai. He grew
the trees because he enjoyed it,
without having any ambition.
This, according to the Japanese
tradition, is the bonsai
culture. |
