Originating in China, Bonsai is a Japanese pronounciation of the Chinese word Penzai. The word Bonsai has been used by the West as an umbrella term for all miniature trees. At first, the Japanese used miniaturized container-grown trees for decorating their homes and gardens. Little is known about the history of the bonsai, but it is now widely believed to have started during the Han Dynasty in China. It was the Chinese who first created the miniature landscapes and trees that we now know as bonsai or Penzai. Since originating in China many centuries ago, it has developed into many new forms in various parts of China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. During the Tokugawa period, landscape gardening attained new importance. Cultivation of plants such as azalea and maples became a pastime of the wealthy. Growing dwarf plants in containers was also popular, but by modern bonsai standards the container plants of this period were inappropriately large.[citation needed] The then-term for dwarf potted trees was "a tree in a pot" (hachi-no-ki?).
