Bonsaisan

ボンサイさん

Mr. Bonsai¹

July 2003

With a commanding way of talking, he is a little bit of a conceited moss bonsai. But for some reason you can't hate him... He's a bonsai but it seems that he won't heal you at all.

しゃべり方が命令口調で、ちょっと生意気なコケ盆栽。でもなぜか憎めない・・・。ボンサイだけどあんまり癒してはくれないようです。

Translation Notes

Bonsai (盆栽, literally "bon-planted", where a 'bon' is a tray-like pot typically used in bonsai culture) is the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees, or of developing woody or semi-woody plants shaped as trees, by growing them in containers. Cultivation includes techniques for shaping, watering, and repotting in various styles of containers. Wikipedia: Bonsai.
