Sumikuro / Makashi Bonsai RE BONSAI™️ upcycled a dead Makashi bonsai with cypress leaves dyed in sumikuro (black Indian ink). TOUFU TOKYO created a new world view of bonsai. RE BONSAI™️ is a coined word of REBORN (reborn) and BONSAI (bonsai). The idea and form of that bonsai that has died out as an SDGs initiative, and the charm of bonsai that raises the prestige of a space, by making it into an interior piece, attracting the modern interior, youth fashion and culture, and the street scene as bonsai art that combines Japanese techniques, tradition and innovation, and The bonsai is sublimated into an artifical form. The colors and designs are unique to living bonsai. This artistry is unique and found nowhere else in the world. Is it a real plant? We are often asked this question, but RE BONSAI™️ is a real plant with trees, branches, roots, leaves, and moss. We have taken a bonsai that had died and dried it out and transformed it into a bonsai that will not die. The natural curves and beauty of the tree can be appreciated down to the roots, bark, jin, shari, and other artisanal techniques. Since it has been dried, there is no problem even if the tips of branches and tree bark are slightly broken or peeled off naturally. The transformation into a new form is also enjoyed. No maintenance is required. Do not water.
