History

Bonsai Types, Basic forms, History,and Size

Type
The most common trees are various species of pine dibonsai. Types of plants and trees used to classify the types of bonsai:

Bonsai pine and oak trees: pine-, fir china, pine thorns, toothpick, and others.
Bonsai fruit trees to enjoy the beauty of his men (Ilex serrata, persimmon, Chaenomeles sinensis, mini apples, etc.).
Bonsai flowering plants to enjoy the beauty of the flowers (Prunus mume, Chaenomeles speciosa, sakura, Satsuki azaleas).
Bonsai trees to be enjoyed form of leaves (maple, Zelkova serrata, Rhus succedanea, bamboo).
There are so many tropical plants that have been tested and found suitable for dibonsai, including acid java, banyan, pine shrimp, hibiscus, and guava.

Prototype
 
Straight Upright (Chokkan)
Winding up straight (Moyogi)
Gloves wind / wind (Fukinagashi)
Hang (Kengai)
Half Hanging (Han Kengai)
Trunk curl (banking)
Upright Brooms (Hōkidachi)
Trunked Two (supplies)
Literary Tree (Bunjinki) Straight Upright
Upright tree trunk vertically upward. Tree trunks are said to have an ideal if a tree has a trunk diameter of a growing number of increasingly smaller, starting from the trunk near the roots. Tree branches are said to have ideal if the branch is in the front-back or left-right crossing each other from each other. Distance antardahan upward growing increasingly narrow. Ideal form of the root is the root which when viewed from above, spread out in all directions.
Upright winding
Upright tree trunks winding to the left and right. Stem diameter increasing upward decreasing with the balance of left and right is good. Branch is the branch of an existing well at the top of the trunk flexion. Branches located in the interior of the arch is cut. From the base of the stem to the top of the tree can be drawn straight line, and those who see do not feel worried about the balance tree.
Oblique
Trunk is tilted to one side like a constant wind direction. Like there are things that block on one side, leaning trees grow to the other side. Characteristic of this form in the form of branches that exist only at the top of the arch bars, and criss-cross at the left-right and front-rear.
Gloves wind / blowing in the wind
Compared bonsai form Italic, trees grew as he experienced a more violent coercion. Stems and branches of trees leaning in one direction only. Stems and branches of trees bent to one side much longer than the tree height as measured from the base of the stem to the top of the tree. The position of the stem and branches similar to the Hanging Half bonsai style, but the stems and branches appear to form parallel lines.
Hang
Likened to trees growing on the surface of the wall in steep seaside cliffs or steep valley walls. Grows like a tree trunk hanging down the cliff. The treetops far to more than basic hanging pots. When the top of the tree does not exceed the basis of the bonsai pot is called the Hanging Half (Han Kengai).
Trunk curl
Looks very twisted tree trunks, or tree growing with a tendency to twist away. So looks twisted tree trunk like a snake that is coiled.
Upright Brooms
Rods perpendicular to the middle before spreading branches and twigs grow in all directions. Top of the tree difficult to determine from a number of peaks existing branches so that the form of bonsai is like a broom of bamboo. The beauty of bonsai style is assessed from a neat branching limb, and the commencement point spread branches and twigs in all directions, tree height, and balance these elements.
Highlighting Roots
Due to tree maintenance are kept in a cruel environment, the base root branching in the soil become exposed to the outside on the ground like a result of wind and rain.
Many trunked
From a base of roots grown up more than one tree. When you grow two trees, the bonsai is called trunked Two (supplies). When there are three trees, so called trunked Three (boring). Trunked bonsai five or more is called stumps Upright (Kabudachi). Odd rods preferred. In addition to two trunked bonsai, bonsai with even-numbered sticks and not made unwelcome.
Intertwined roots
Roots of some trees from one species (three tree trunks or more) attached to each other and relate to each other. This form can also be derived from tree trunks that had been upright, but collapsed and buried in the ground. Part that used to be a branch of the tree, changing roles and grow as a tree trunk. From the tree trunk out of the roots, and roots are entwined with the roots of the tree of origin. Shape similar to the roots entwined called rafts or Grown from Stem (Ikadabuki). Growing bonsai shape of the rod also comes from trees that had been upright, but collapsed and changed the role of the stem branches. Intertwined with the roots of the difference lies in the roots of which exist only in one spot. Like many trunked bonsai, even unpopular trunked tree.
Group
More than one tree planted together in a pot or planted on the shallow rocks. Trees can be planted a few trees of one species, or a mixture of several different species. The value of creative works may be exalted with the blend decorative items are placed in addition. 
This bonsai forms of copying its origins in the Nanga tree form. Named bonsai tree forms of literary writers since the Meiji era is very fond of this form of bonsai. As of today, thin stems, number of branches a little, and the short branch is also called the Tree of Letters.
Trees Not Unusual
This form is used to refer to bonsai that are not can be classified into bonsai shapes prevalent.

History
Bonsai comes from the art of miniaturizing plants called penjing from the Tang dynasty period. In the tomb of the son of Empress Wu Zetian are murals depicting the waitress who brought the flowering trees in shallow pots. Small shallow pot is a miniaturization of natural scenery.

Japanese society began to recognize penjing around the end of the Heian period. Penjing kanji for the Japanese is pronounced as bonkei. Similarly, in Chinese, Japanese bonkei is also the miniaturization of natural scenery. Art is only enjoyed by the upper classes, especially among the courtiers and samurai, and a new bonsai called on the Edo period.

Bonsai plant is a samurai of the Edo odd jobs, when the bonsai's popularity peaked. Since the Meiji era, bonsai is considered as a fashionable hobby. However, maintenance and watering bonsai takes a lot of time. In line with the neighborhood in which more and more modern Japanese and have no yard, bonsai enthusiasts finally limited to the elderly.

Size
 
Bonsai at the "Foire du Valais, Switzerland, 2005.Bonsai grouped into six groups based on plant height from the base of the stem to the top of the plant:

giants: tree height of more than 101 cm.
very large: between 76-100 cm tall tree.
big: tall trees between 46-75 cm
medium height trees between 31-45 cm
small: tree height between 16-30 cm
very small: less than 15 tall tree
