Discover the art of bonsai through Kunio Kobayashi’s timeless collection in Tokyo

Bonsai is the intricate centuries-old Japanese art form of growing and shaping miniature trees. It’s often referred to as an art without end because these trees can live hundreds of years–passed down from generation to generation–with masterful and precise care.

Kunio Kobayashi is one of the world’s leading bonsai artists who opened a museum in Tokyo to “display the beauty of nature in all four seasons and the majesty, grace and power of trees surviving in the harshest of conditions.”

At Shunkaen Bonsai Garden, you can discover Mr. Kobayashi’s immaculate collection, including a 1,000-year-old pine tree.
