A new bonsai brand "JUME BONSAI" has been launched by Shinzo Co., Ltd., based in Tokyo and led by president and bonsai artist Daisuke Mariko, with an official announcement on September 8, 2025.
JUME BONSAI expresses all kinds of "connections" such as nature, humanity, culture, and time, proposing bonsai as artistic works that visualize moments where one feels "alive" despite being motionless.
Work Categories
JUME BONSAI expresses the memory of life in two forms. "MUKU" sublimes the traces of long years into beauty, and "SHOKEI" depicts life from materials. Traditional techniques and materials, along with the bonsai artist's aesthetic eye, bring quiet time to the space.
JUME BONSAI works preserve the memory of life while requiring no daily maintenance, allowing viewers to enjoy their beauty in its natural state.
