Penjing predates Japanese bonsai by two millennia. Chinese scholars engineered the "potted scene" as a sophisticated tray landscape.
​
Bonsai is the portrait of a tree. Penjing is the architecture of the biosphere—a storytelling diorama documenting the synergy between humanity and the natural world.
​
Our evolution integrates the landscape directly into the vessel. Every peak, path, and building is sculpted into the clay. This provides the technical foundation for a unique creative collaboration. We provide the structure; you and nature bring the world to life.​
