those trees look incredible. Its strange really. My japanese friend tells me that all plants have feelings that they cry.
I am no expert at all on plants-- it does make sense though that if the tree were unhappy that it would not thrive. It surely is a great skill to train these trees to follow the path set up by its MASTER/Mistress. I don' tknow about the history of BONSAI. Would it be that there was very little space to allow trees to develop as nature intended? You will notice I am totally ignorant but truly fascinated and an admirer of the way that NATURE can be moulded. I guess that with skill that is the case with so much of nature isn't it? We do have to mould and direct. manipulate to encourage a supply of food for the world. I agree that to keep a large dog in a small flat is not good.Neither are so many things in this world. thanks again.

I have to note that I'm not very good at English, so please be patient if I mistook something what you say. As I know in Japan many research intend to discover various responses, given by various "unanimated" sources. I have a book about water molecules' reactions. It's written by one Japanese author, who'd made the microscopic photos to prove it makes different 'faces' if it receives different influences (sometimes only a written sentence made the affect). Also I've heard that they tried to prove the 'feeling plant' theory with some + results. Of course it's kind of silly, but I can give place to it. Everything has some response to what it might contact, that is one proven fact. I think it's up to us that, how may we call it -- a reaction of a soul or the chemicals...-it's a beatable sentence, but I don't have other reasons. As for the bonsai's history, I really don't know much, I can give you the Chinese name: penjing. It may help to discover some facts about the past of bonsai. It's true though, that many bonsai were originally collected from a place that was 'hostile' to its occupants, I can imagine that Japan has many of those, for rocks and thin soil not very rare there. That is an example from the US:collecting have fun with it!

Have you been a plant to know they don't have any?
Until recently it was thought that fishes don't feel pain, and it has proved to be very far from truth. There is a lot we don't know, we just assume we know. "Manganese? Is that manga language?" - lol?

'Happy' is just a word to express one process, you don't need to tease others because you don't entirely agree the way they speak.

From when does a reaction which absolutely has +or- marker, considered to be feeling? Can you be absolutely sure that nature/plant have never suffered the way we often treat it. Having a bonsai in your home surely would give you more experience in this field. Than you'd see with your own eye.

Well I did run a landscape design and construction business (it was called Go Native Landscapes as we specialised in native and indigenous plant species) for quite a number of years and my wife majored in botany at university. I do have some experience with plants
