There are various kinds of plants, such as coniferous trees, deciduous trees and accessory plants, which are used for bonsai. Different bonsai are created through the skillful work and the aesthetic sense of the bonsai master engaged in the creation of those bonsai. There are five bonsai gardens in Omiya Bonsai Village, and you can enjoy various bonsai created based on each owner’s feelings.

松柏類、雑木類、草物と、盆栽に使用する植物は多種多様。そして、それを手がける盆栽師の技と美意識によって、一鉢ごとに異なる盆栽に創り上げられます。大宮盆栽村には五つの盆栽園があり、各園主こだわりの様々な盆栽がご覧いただけます。

  When you look at the ukiyoe paintings from the Edo Period, for example, you may be surprised to find these types of plants depicted in the artwork. Just as people enjoyed various types of plants then, we are culturing more than 300 kinds of bonsai ranging from our specialty of accemt plants to introduced species and garden plants. We are particularly careful about how we use scissors to trim the bonsai so that they look more natural.

  江戸時代の浮世絵などを見ますと、この時代にこのような植物があったのかと驚かされることがあります。当時の人たちが様々な種類の植物を愛でていたように、当園では得意の添え草をはじめ、外来植物や園芸植物など300種を越える盆栽を培養しています。それらの盆栽をより自然に見えるよう、鋏の入れ方にもこだわって手入れしています。

  It was founded during the Kaei period (1848-54) in Edo. The garden in Omiya Bonsai Village was set up in 1943. Preserving the taste and art of Edo, Seikou-en pursues the refined beauty and elegance of the season. Saika Bonsai, which is an original of this garden, is created so that the plants look charming and natural on the old tiles. Together with the traditional coniferous trees bonsai, we want to convey Saika Bonsai to future generations for a long time.

  嘉永年間（1848〜54）に江戸で創業し、1943年に大宮盆栽村に園を構えました。江戸前の技を大切に、季節感や風流、味わいのある洗練された美を追究しています。当園オリジナルの彩花盆栽は、古瓦に草木が自然に芽吹いた様子に心惹かれ、考案したものです。伝統の松柏盆栽とあわせ、末永く後世に伝えて行きたいと思っています。

  In this garden, a bonsai class has been held for general visitors since 1966, so that everyone can enjoy the cultivation of bonsai. For this reason, this garden makes a great number of the popular Goyo-matsu (Pinus parviflora) and small bonsai, so that everyone can have a bonsai aroucnd them. We hope you can listen to the voice of the bonsai and treat it like a pet, so that it is carefully nurtured for generations to come.

  盆栽を育てることを楽しんでいただけるよう、当園では一般の方を対象にした盆栽教室を1966年から開催しています。身近に盆栽を置いていたcだけるよう、人気の五葉松や小品盆栽を数多く手がけているのもそのためです。ぜひ、ペットを育てるような気持ちで盆栽の声を聞きながら、代々大切に育てて欲しいと願っています。

  Known as “The Garden of Deciduous trees” and “The Garden of Forest style” since ancient times, Fuyo-en places a lot of focus on deciduous trees and forest style. There are various kinds of deciduous trees which you can enjoy throughout the year – the fresh green leaves in the spring, the red leaves and harvest colors in the autumn, and the formation of branches in winter. A forest scene can be created if the trees are planted and arranged just right. While coniferous trees are masculine, deciduous trees are more feminine. So their soft and delicate appearance is especially appealing.

  昔から「雑木の芙蓉園・寄せ植えの芙蓉園」といわれ、雑木盆栽と寄せ植えに力を入れてきました。雑木には色々な樹種があり、春の新緑、秋の紅葉や実り、冬の枝振りと、四季を通じて楽しめます。寄せ植えにすれば、そこに林の風景を作り出すことが出来ます。松柏が男性的なのに対し、雑木は女性的。しなやかで柔らかな風情が楽しめます。

  Opened in 1925, this is the oldest garden in Omiya Bonsai Village. In this garden, we specialize in Sosaku (creative) Bonsai, creating scenery with depth using various kind of bonsai including Yezo-matsu (Picea jezoensis). The mood of the garden’s creator can be sensed throughout the garden: the elegance of the mountains and forest, the scenery of deep mountains and dark valleys, and Japanese aesthetic sense of “wabi” and “sabi”. We tend trees with a great deal of care in order to create a scene that people can enjoy for decades.

  大宮盆栽村の中で最も古い1925年の開園です。当園では、蝦夷松をはじめ、あらゆる種類の盆栽に深みのある景色を作り出す創作盆栽を得意としています。山の風情や林の風情、深山幽谷の景色や詫び・寂びなど、そこには創作した人の気持ちが込められます。手入れを怠らず、何十年と続く景色を形づくって行きたいと励んでいます。
