Penjing in the US National Bonsai and Penjing Museum
Penjing (盆景 pinyin: pén jǐng, literally tray scenery) is the ancient Chinese art of growing trees and plants, kept small by skilled pruning and formed to create an aesthetic shape and the illusion of age. Penjing is very similar to (and a precursor of) the Japanese art of bonsai.
