Shohin Bonsai app for iPhone and iPad

Bonsai is a part of ancient sacred beliefs and Eastern philosophies to be peaceful and in harmony with nature. In Japan, Bonsai is highly respected as a symbol of their culture and thoughts.
Now, the time has come for a new Bonsai style, “Shohin Bonsai”.
“Shohin” is a Japanese word for “a-tiny-thing.” You’ll see a fusion of the traditional Bonsai technique and spatial design art in a smaller miniature cosmos. Shohin Bonsai has become widely popular in all countries, as a piece of art, small interior accessories, and a relaxing hobby providing you with creating pleasure and sense of spirituality.
