Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection closed to the public on April 2, 2009.
Elegance and serenity. Drama and passion. Bonsai is an ancient Asian art form that finds root in human emotion. The Weyerhaeuser corporate campus is the home for our Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection.
Bonsai are miniaturized, living trees shaped by artists to portray scenic large trees in nature. The collection features 60 outstanding bonsai from six Pacific Rim nations.
Records of bonsai can be traced to the 4th century in the scrolls of China. Bonsai spread to Korea and into Japan by the 7th or 8th century.
There are many styles of bonsai. Commonly seen styles include the formal upright, informal upright, slant, semi- and full cascade, forest planting, twin trunk, raft, landscape planting, clump, and literati styles.
