BONSAI

BONSAI


Bonsai memang tanaman spesial. Sebab, penggemarnya pun kebanyakan dari kalangan seniman atau elite. Namun saat ini, image kalau bonsai tanaman mahal itu sebaiknya dihapus. Pasalnya, bagi Anda yang tinggal di daerah pun dapat jadi anggota penggemar bonsai, meski tak harus memiliki bonsai.

Kini, hal itu bisa dibuktikan dalam salah satu visi berdirinya Perkumpulan Penggemar Bonsai Indonesia (PPBI). “Dalam sosialisasinya, kiprah PPBI tak hanya ada di pusat, tapi juga membaur ke daerah-daerah. Sebab, masing-masing daerah mempunyai potensi yang harus dikembangkan, sehingga di lain sisi juga sebagai pemberdayaan masyarakat terhadap hasil alam, khususnya tanaman yang potensi untuk bonsai,” kata Ketua PPBI cabang Tuban, Munasir.

Seperti PPBI Tuban yang sudah berdiri dua tahun lalu ini, kehadirannya dapat sambutan hangat dari masyarakat. Terlebih bagi para penggemar tanaman bonsai. Uniknya, masih kata Munasir, dalam PPBI ini hanya mengenal istilah penggemar bonsai. Sebab, makna penggemar ini milik universal, meski anggotanya sebagai kolektor, penghobi ataupun pebisnis. Itu dilakukan untuk men-seragamkan para anggota. Jadi, tak ada kecanggungan satu sama lain.

Selain mengajak masyarakat untuk berperan serta dalam budidaya bonsai, PPBI juga ingin melakukan sosialisasi yang sifatnya lebih mendekatkan diri dengan masyarakat. Misalnya, dengan melakukan diskusi ataupun penyuluhan yang berkaitan dengan tanaman bonsai, sehingga secara tak langsung akan menciptakan rasa kekeluargaan.

Bonsai

merupakan salah satu seni pemangkasan tumbuhan atau pohon yang berasal dari Jepang yang bertujuan untuk membiasakan tumbuhan atau pohon tersebut tumbuh dalam keadaan yang kerdil/cebol. Istilah bonsai sendiri berasal dari bahasa Mandarin "pen zai", yang ditandai dengan digunakannya karakter kanji.

Dalam bahasa Jepang,bonsai berarti "tanaman di pot". Biasanya akan berasosiasi dengan sebuah miniatur pohon yang ditanam di dalam pot atau kontainer. Pohon yang di bonsai umumnya berupa pohon berkayu (misalnya pohon beringin, dll) atau pohon buah-buahan dan kadang berupa pohon bunga. Bonsai yang baik dapat diletakkan diluar pekarangan sepanjang tahun.

Effek artistik dari bonsai dilihat dari keseimbangan dalam ukuran batang, daun, ranting bunga atau buah dan pot yang digunakan. Pot yang dipakai haruslah yang mendukung suasana pohon yang ditanam.

Ukuran Bonsai

Bonsai di "Foire du Valais", Swiss, 2005.

Ada 4 ukuran bonsai yang biasa dipakai, yaitu miniatur, kecil, sedang, dan rata-rata. Miniatur biasanya berukuran tinggi sekitar 5 cm. Umumnya bonsai miniatur disiapkan dalam waktu sekitar 5 tahun. Bonsai kecil biasanya mempunyai tinggi antara 5 sampai 15 cm dan memerlukan persiapan sekitar 5-10 tahun. Bonsai ukuran sedang mempunyai tinggi antara 15 sampai 30 cm, dan bonsai rata-rata mempunyai tinggi 60 cm dengan waktu perisapan sekitar 3 tahun.

Cara membonsai

Tanaman atau pohon dikerdilkan dengan cara memotong akar dan rantingnya. Pohon dibentuk dengan bantuan kawat pada ranting dan tunasnya. Kawat harus sudah diambil sebelum sempat menggores kulit ranting pohon tersebut.

Sejarah Bonsai

Bonsai pertama kali diperkenalkan di Tiongkok kurang lebih 1000 tahun yang lalu namun kemudian dilanjutkan pengembangannya oleh orang Jepang. Industri bonsai yang cukup besar banyak ditemui di Negara Jepang. Bonsai sekarang menjadi cukup populer termasuk di Indonesia.

Sedangkan kata Bonsai itu diserap dari bahasa Mandarin Pen-Zai (Pen = Pot – Zai = Pohon), sebelumnya dalam bahasa Jepang disebut "Hachi-no-ki" = Pohon di dalam Pot. Tidak bisa dipungkiri, bahwa Bonsai itu sebenarnya berasal dari Tiongkok. Seni mengerdilkan tumbuh-tumbuhan di Tiongkok lebih dikenal dengan sebutan Penjing (Pinyin). Pen = Pot/Wadah/Dulang - Ying = Panorama Alam.

Penjing itu adalah merupakan seni mengerdilkan tanaman dengan mengambil inspirasi dari bentuk panorama alam. Gambar siluet dari panorama alam inilah yang mereka tata dalam sebuah tanaman yang dikerdilkan, hingga tanaman itu berbentuk lukisan alam yang indah dan hidup.

Penjing bisa dibagi dalam tiga kategori: Penjing Pohon (Shumu Penjing), Penjing pemandangan/Alam (Shanshui Penjing), Penjing Air dan Tanah (Shuihan Penjing).

Asal muasalnya dari seni Penjing berdasarkan mitologi; konon ada seorang ahli sihir yang bernama Jiang Feng yang memiliki kemampuan menyihir sehingga apa saja yang disihir olehnya akan menjadi kecil.

Sedangkan He-Nian seorang pujangga ketika jaman Dinasti Yuan telah menulis beberapa puisi mengenai Penjing dan salah satu kalimatnya telah menjadi kredo: "Yang Terkecil menjadi Yang Terbesar"

Seni Penjing sudah dikenal sejak jaman Dinasti Tang, tetapi baru pada saat Dinasti Qin menjadi sangat terkenal dan digandrungi oleh para pejabat tinggi maupun para Bikshu, sehingga setiap tahunnya diadakan lomba seni Penjing.

Konon ketika kerajaan Shuhan terjadi persaingan terselubung antara kanselir Zhuge Liang (Cukat Liang) dengan Liu Bei. Untuk membuktikan tanda kesetiaannya Liu Bei terhadap Cukat Liang dan juga keinginan damainya. Liu Bei menghadiahkan Penjing Pohon buah Pear. Melalui pohon inilah hati sang kanselir akhirnya bisa luluh. Perlu diketahui bahwa Liu Bei juga adalah seorang satrawan maka dari itu Penjing Pohon yang bentuknya lurus seperti pena disebut Wenren Mu (Pohon Para Pujangga) dalam bahasa Jepang disebut Bunjingi.

Bonsai pertama kali diperkenalkan ke umum oleh Jepang pada tahun 1867 ketika Expo Dunia di Paris.

Seni mengerdilkan/pemangkasan tanaman dikembangkan juga oleh para Biksu aliran Tao, karena Penjing ini juga merupakan lambang dari keseimbangan serta keharmonisan manusia dengan alamnya. Dari pemeliharaan seni Penjing mereka bisa mendapatkan secara tidak langsung kepuasan batiniah yang tak ternilai. Para Biksu inilah jugayang membawa seni Penjing ke Jepang yang akhirnya dikembangkan menjadi seni Bonsai.

Diperkirakan seni Penjing ini pertama kali datang ke Jepang antara era Kaisar Kammu (737 - 806) hingga akhirnya masa kejayaan Kerajaan Edo pada kepemimpinan Shogun Dinasti Tokugawa (1603 - 1867). Sedangkan sebagian pihak menganggap Bonsai hadir pada masa Dinasti Kamakura (1185 - 1333). Hal ini terjadi karena adanya bukti otentik berupa lukisan seorang pejabat Shogun Kamakura dengan Bonsai.

Hingga saat ini kita masih bisa menyaksikan Bonsai hidup tertua antara 400 s/d 800 tahun yang menjadi koleksi dari Happo-en di Tokio.

Para penggemar Bonsai pada umumnya beli pohon tidak di Jepang melainkan di China atau di Taiwan sebab disana harganya jauh lebih murah daripada di Jepang yang bisa dua sampai tiga kali lipat lebih mahal. Harga per pohon di Taiwan bisa puluhan juta, kebalikannya di Indonesia orang masih ada yang bersedia bayar ratusan juta Rp untuk bisa mendapatkan satu pohon Bonsai yang bagus.

Bonsai in BaliBonsai in Bali
You may be surprised to find out that there are Bonsai in Bali and although they may be difficult to find they are well worth the visit. The first step is to find a "bemo" driver who understands exactly what you are looking for. Then trying to locate them is another problem as the streets are seldom named and I don't think they have heard of numbers, but this is part of the fun of it. Most of the nurseries are located in Sanur close to one of the main tourist areas.

Indonesian Bonsai Expo
Promote bonsai as an art form and to help artists and small nurseries to market their bonsai mainly for export orientation. Other objective is to educate bonsai farmers to cultivate bonsai by intensive and productive method. The IBE will be a marketing mediator providing all neccessary facilities including export documentation, quarantine and shipment.

About Bonsai in AustraliaAbout Bonsai in Australia
There are active Bonsai Clubs and enthusiasts in all states throughout Australia, all of which would encourage visitors from overseas and new members. The conditions in most of Australia are ideal for growing Bonsai, (especially Temperate and Tropical species), long hot summers and mild winters, under the right conditions the growth rate that we get is double that of northern hemisphere climates. Because of these conditions indoor Bonsai is almost unheard of in Australia. Watering is critical as hot conditions cause potted plants to dry out quickly and twice daily watering is not uncommon - click link for more

The Yun Xiu Yuan (Garden of Beauty)The Yun Xiu Yuan (Garden of Beauty)
The Yun Xiu Yuan is a Suzhou style penjing garden located on the grounds of the Chinese garden. One of the gardeners said the collection contains over a thousand Bonsai, a figure I can agree with. These are nearly all tropical specimens (Singapore is at 1 degree N latitude and the weather was certainly tropical 30C and humid). The Bonsai on display were from China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. There were many podacarpus and many ficus species (you would go crazy over the aerial roots). The two species I found extremely intriguing were Baeckia frutescenes which looks a lot like a Cedrus libani and Pemphis acidula which has a marvelous small leaf and crusty black and white bark. There was also a near ultimate escape tree a ficus where the roots had gotten out of the pot, down over the stone stand, and into the ground the tree is still well trained. - more

Japanese Gardens of SingaporeJapanese Gardens of Singapore
Opened in 1973 to create a space of beauty in an increasingly crowded Singapore, this 32-acre Japanese-style garden is larger than any on the island of Japan. These picturesque gardens were constructed in the style reminiscent of a period approximately 800 years ago, during which Japanese gardening artistry was at its height. A Zen Buddhist state of peace and simplicity are produced by the quiet and serenity of the gardens. A minimalist attitude is also reflected, with shrubs representing mountains, and with changing views along the broad, landscaped garden paths. The water elements include a small and large pond, over which traditional bridges transport visitors from a guest house on one island, to a summer house on the other. A conspicuous wisteria trellis adorns the southern shore of the small pond.

Gardens of SingaporeGardens of Singapore
Singapore has labeled itself "The Garden City," and has worked hard to live up to its slogan. Although this Asian metropolis is intensely crowded, gardens and parks may be seen throughout the city. These green areas, which contain trees and foliage imported from around the world, soften the edges of the many concrete structures in this tiny but well-populated island. Thanks to Singapore's hot, tropical climate, its garden areas bloom year-round, offering a perpetual spectrum of bright flowers and vibrant greenery. - more

Bonsai on Kusu Island
Kusu means "turtle" and there are several legends surrounding Kusu Island and turtles rescuing shipwrecked sailors. There's a great old temple here (Tua Pekong Temple) that acts as a turtle sanctuary. They also have several gigantic snakes and a fine collection of Bonsai trees. Kusu and St John's are two of the 60 isles that belong to Singapore. There is a ferry that travels around Sentosa Island and 40 minutes later stops at Kusu, then takes 15 minutes to reach St John's before returning to the World Trade Centre.
Taoists make an annual pilgrimage to the Tua Pekong Temple during the ninth lunar month, cramming themselves onto tiny Kusu. (Don't even think of visiting Kusu Island during this, the first visitors are up at the ferry terminals before dawn, they aren't called devotees for nothing)
