Dry Bonsai Gift Box

Dry Bonsai Gift Capsule DIY Capsule set(1)

Dry bonsai is a new style of bonsai that is maintenance-free, easy, non-withering, and beautiful. Even among bonsai that should live for many years, there are some that die out due to life span or wrong. We carefully select from them, remove soil, dry the entire tree, prune useless branches and roots, and complete the tree. In addition, we add different leaves that we have dried on our own to create an art bonsai that adds a novel charm to the original bonsai's sense of history.

Bonsai, which is a part of Japan's ancient traditional culture, is attracting more and more attention around the world every day. This time, in response to the recent increase in inbound demand, we will sell the world's first dried bonsai in a gift box to make it easier to purchase as a souvenir.

A world first! A new way to enjoy bonsai, "Dry Bonsai Gift Box

Under the supervision of Shigeo Fujita, a bonsai art artist, this is a new attempt to create a bonsai using real bonsai trees and leaves. We created the world's first bonsai product in a gift box to encourage people to enjoy bonsai more casually. This product is also a perfect souvenir for the rapidly increasing number of inbound travelers. The bonsai branches and leaves are based on barked and polished bonsai trees of the pine and oak species, and preserved leaves of conifers that have been colored and dried in a preserved process. The leaves come in three colors: red, yellow, and green. Please enjoy the one and only original dried bonsai in the world.

The "Dry Bonsai Gift Capsule DIY Capsule set" will be released at the same time, and includes a dry bonsai kit in a capsule. This product allows you to experience making a dry bonsai easily.
