More Details
The history of bonsai in Kagawa Prefecture is long. This art is said to have begun 200 years ago in the Edo period, where native trees and shrubs growing in the mountains and along the coast were planted in pots and sold. With very little difference in temperature throughout t he year, and with long hours of sunshine and minimal rain, the Seto Inland Sea climate was suitable for pine bonsai. Also, since pruning, grafting, and other techniques used in the production of fruit trees and mulberry plants were available, bonsai production in Kagawa developed significantly. The main producing areas are Kinashi and Kokubunji in the western part of the city of Takamatsu. While black pine (kuromatsu) is the focus, species such as brocade pine (nishikimatsu) and white pine (goyomatsu) are also cultivated. Takamatsu is one of the leading bonsai-producing areas in Japan. Producers cover the entire process, from raising the seedling to training it into a bonsai. Thus, the area features many bonsai nurseries. Rows of bonsai decorate shelves, and bonsai are meth odically planted in fields. The expansive landscape provides clear evidence that Takamatsu is o ne of Japan's leading bonsai-producing areas. This program is not only for people who are engaged in the bonsai industry or who wish to work in a bonsai-producing center but is intended for a broad range of people, regardless of nationality, including people who simply have an interest in bonsai and people who want to learn techniques to improve their personal skills.
