Q.12. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

Many years ago, when the art of stunting plants was quite unheard of except in remote areas of India,
Buddhist monks in isolated monasteries in Tibet stunted trees like oak and orange. They watched with
excitement the trees flowering and bearing fruit regardless of this ‘deformity’. The trees looked so
artistically beautiful and enchanted everyone. Some Chinese monks learnt the art from Tibetan monks and
soon ‘Bonsai’ making became a popular hobby and art in China and every garden had at least six bonsais.
India and China claimed rights to the art till Japan followed enamoured by its beauty. Today Japan leads
in Bonsai making and has invented new methodologies to make the plants look aesthetic and artistic. The
most beautiful is the cherry blossom that is breathtakingly attractive. Bonsais need constant pruning,
watering, shaping and correct environment. The trees can be planted in colorful containers of your choice.
Numerous schools have mushroomed where the art is taught and cultivated. Best known among them is
the Indian Bonsai Association. India has great demand for bonsais. Hotels, homes, farm houses,
restaurants and guest houses use these decorative plants to adorn their lobbies, dining halls and drawing
rooms. It is aptly said that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. Indeed the bonsai lasts in one’s imagination
long after the plant has lived its life span.
Bonsai gardeners use methods including wiring branches, extreme pruning of roots and branches, root
binding, grafting and custom soil and cinder mixtures. But perhaps the most important element of all is
patience. Instructions for achieving the ‘roots over rock’ effect give insight into the work of a bonsai
artist: trim the roots, place the rock, bind roots, then re-pot and wait for two years. Often a bonsai is
created by many hands over the years – a highly priced tree is one where the hand and the ego of the artist
become invisible as in the Zen concept of ‘artless art’.
Questions
1. Who first began to stunt trees and plants?
2. Which bonsai is breathtakingly beautiful?
3. Which country leads in the art of stunting today?
4. How can we take care of bonsais?
5. Name a few places where bonsais are used for decoration
6. Why does the writer say ‘a thing of beauty is a joy forever’?
7. The word ‘enamoured’ means ……………….
8. What methods were used by bonsai gardeners?
