The ancient art of bonsai is a process of interaction between man and plant, the results of which only become visible after years and decades. If you want to enjoy working with bonsai, you need 2–3 hours a week.

It takes 3–4 years to enjoy its appearance and 8–10 years for others to appreciate the work. The beauty and shape of a bonsai can be objectively appreciated after 10–20 years. A properly designed bonsai between 20 and 50 years old has a value proportional to its age, amounting to tens, hundreds, and thousands of euros. A bonsai becomes a historical treasure after 100 years, a 500-year-old bonsai becomes a historical pride. Few people (even in Japan) have the opportunity to see 800-year-old bonsai trees — they are a national treasure. They are under the protection of monasteries.  It is forbidden to take them out of the country. It is said that the Imperial Palace houses ancient 1000-year-old masterpieces that have incredible, magical powers.
