盆景是日本传统文化当中一种重要的艺术形式，它利用栽培技术在盆中培养小型植物，以模仿实际树木的形状和比例。盆景艺术家通过弯曲和修剪树枝，以及添加石头和苔藓来塑造自己的盆景景观，以达到理想的艺术效果。盆景大师的作品通常被看作艺术奇迹，售价极高。

Bonsai is a traditional Japanese art form that uses cultivation techniques to produce small plants in pots that mimic the shape and proportions of full-size trees.Bonsai artists shape their landscapes by bending and pruning branches as well as adding stones and moss to complete their desired appearance. Works of bonsai masters are considered to be artistic marvels and sold for extremely high prices.

尽管盆景在全世界各地享有盛誉且越来越受欢迎，但由于进出口条例管制，盆景在除日本以外的其它地区仍然很难找到。盆景需要充足的阳光和持续不断的浇水，这显然对零售来说是一个挑战。另外，盆景维护还需具备大量的专业知识，这些因素阻碍了盆景在年轻人中和海外的流行。

Despite the Bonsai’s prestige and increasing popularity around the world, it is still very rare to find them outside of Japan due to agricultural import restrictions. The Bonsai’s maintenance requires sunlight exposure and constant watering, which presents a challenge for retailers. Additionally, proper care of a Bonsai tree entails a substantial amount of professional expertise. These factors and others have been a hindrance to the prevalence of Bonsai-growing among young people and overseas.

网格盆景以一种类似益智拼图的互动形式解决了这一挑战。3D打印的盆景如同自然植物，可很容易地使用剪刀进行修剪。设计共制作了七款参考著名盆景树种的系列，每款都可以从简单的形式修剪到流畅的外观。这些盆景看顾方便，即使是初学者也能轻松掌握，同时以其非生命性的构成因而在国内外销售都极为容易。

The grid-bonsai tackles these challenges and creates a solution in the form of an interactive puzzle-like object. The 3D-printed object can be easily trimmed using a pair of Bonsai scissors, just like a natural plant. There are seven types of objects, referencing the well known Bonsai tree species, each can be customized from simple extruded form into a smooth rounded form. The objects are user friendly, even for beginners, and as they are non-living, there are no import and maintenance restrictions, making over the counter sales easy both domestically and abroad.
