[0011] At least the following matters will become clear from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

[0012] A craft bonsai comprises a container filled with a filler that forms soil, a trunk that is a structure that extends from the surface of the filler as the starting point to the end point and supports the entire structure, at least one branch that branches off between the start and end points of the trunk and extends in a direction different from the trunk, and a foliage that is attached to the branch and forms the leaves of the plant.A craft bonsai is an imitation tree body artificially constructed from craft materials, characterized in that a bark that forms a wood grain pattern is attached to at least the outer surface of the trunk, and the wood grain pattern of the bark is formed by a shaping material.

[0013] With such craft bonsai, the bark can be formed using a shaping material, making it easy to obtain an appearance that imitates the real thing.

[0014] <Regarding the First Embodiment> A craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic front view of the craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the craft bonsai 1 refers to a simulated tree body artificially constructed from craft materials.

[0015] As shown in Figure 1, the craft bonsai 1 comprises a container portion 10, a trunk portion 20, a branch portion 30, a leaf portion 40, a shape portion 50 (corresponding to the bark portion), and a surface portion 60 (corresponding to the bark portion).

[0016] The container part 10 is filled with a filler 10a and is the bonsai pot part of the craft bonsai 1. Then, just like an actual bonsai, the filler 10a inside the container part 10 is made to resemble soil, and a trunk 20 is formed in the filler 10a.

[0017] Any type of container 10 can be used as long as it can be filled with the filler 10a, and the creator can freely select it as long as it does not spoil the beauty of the craft bonsai 1.

[0018] For example, the shape of the container portion 10 can be freely selected from a round shape as shown in FIG. 1, a rectangular shape, an oval shape, etc., and the material can be selected from unglazed pottery, terracotta, FRP (plastic), ceramics, wood, concrete, tin, a can, etc.

[0019] The filler 10a may be formed to imitate the soil of the craft bonsai 1, and this can also be freely selected by the creator.

[0020] For example, gardening soil can be used as is (for example, by repurposing the miyama soil described below), or a flower sponge can be used with gardening soil spread over the surface, or an artificial medium such as zeolite can be used. The creator can also freely choose materials unrelated to gardening, such as plastic (for example, expanded polystyrene resin described below) or clay.

[0021] The trunk 20 can be said to be the central part of the simulated tree of the craft bonsai 1, and is the part that supports the overall structure of the simulated tree, and in the craft bonsai 1 of the first embodiment, it is made up of a collection of metal wires.

[0022] Figure 2 shows the configuration of the trunk 20, where Figure 2(a) shows the state of the core wires 20c, Figure 2(b) shows the state in which the core wires 20c are bundled to form the trunk 20, and Figure 2(c) shows the state in which a part of the trunk 20 is formed into a branch portion 30.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2(a), in the first embodiment, a core wire 20c is first produced by covering a metal wire 20a with a coating 20b. The metal wire 20a is preferably one that can be easily deformed by hand, and may have a diameter of, for example, about 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm. Materials that can be used include wire, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, brass, piano wire, etc. The coating 20b can be, for example, paper tape, tissue paper, etc., and may be pre-coated.

[0024] Then, multiple core wires 20c are produced and bundled with a bundling member 20d (e.g., metal wire, string, cable tie, etc.) as shown in Figure 2(b) to form the trunk 20. The number of core wires 20c to be bundled can be freely selected by the crafter depending on the size of the craft bonsai 1, etc. Then, as shown in Figure 2(c), some of the core wires 20c in the trunk 20 are branched to form branch portions 30.

[0025] 2(a) or 2(b), after the core wire 20c and the trunk 20 are configured, the core wire 20c and the trunk 20 are inserted into the filler 10a as shown in Fig. 1, so that the trunk 20 is formed so as to protrude from the filler 10a. In other words, the trunk 20 is formed as a continuous structure extending from the starting point S to the end point E shown in Fig. 1, so as to protrude from the filler 10a.

[0026] In the above, the core wires 20c are bundled and inserted into the filling section 10a as the trunk 20, but this is not limited to this. After inserting individual core wires 20c into the filling 10a, the trunk 20 may be formed by bundling the core wires 20c with a bundling member 20d.

[0027] 2(c), the branch portion 30 is formed by branching a part of the core wire 20c of the trunk portion 20. Therefore, the branch portion 30 branches off between the start point S and the end point E of the trunk portion 20. In addition, the branch portion 30 is extended in a direction different from that of the trunk portion 20.

[0028] The leaf section 40 is the leaf portion of the plant in the craft bonsai 1, and is a large external part that indicates what kind of bonsai the craft bonsai 1 is imitating. In the first embodiment, since the craft bonsai is imitating a pine bonsai, the leaf section has the shape of a coniferous pine leaf, but this is not limited to this. For example, if the craft bonsai is imitating a maple bonsai, the leaf section may have the shape of a maple leaf, and the crafter can freely select any shape depending on the bonsai they are imitating.

[0029] Furthermore, although resin clay is used as the material for the leaf portion 40 in the first embodiment, this is not limited to this, and any material that improves the aesthetic appearance of the leaf portion 40, such as cloth, Japanese paper, plastic material, dry material, or preserved leaves, can be used.

[0030] The leaf section 40 has a leaf-shaped portion and a branch portion, and is provided so as to bind (with, for example, metal wire, string, or cable ties) the branch portion of the leaf section 40 to the branch section 30. The leaf section 40 can be provided at any position on the branch section 30, and the creator can, for example, provide it in a position that will improve the aesthetic appearance of the craft bonsai 1.

[0031] The shaping portion 50 and the surface layer 60 form a bark portion having a wood grain pattern that shows the appearance of a plant tree, and the shaping portion 50 forms the unevenness of the bark, and the surface layer 60 is applied to the surface of the shaping portion 50. As will be described in detail later, the shaping portion 50 and the surface layer 60 are formed from a shaping material.

[0032] In other words, the craft bonsai 1 of the first embodiment is a craft bonsai 1 that is an imitation tree body artificially constructed from craft materials, and includes a container portion 10 filled with filler 10a that forms soil, a trunk 20 that is a structure extending from the surface of the filler 10a as a starting point S and continuing to an end point E, and that supports the entire structure, at least one branch portion 30 that branches off from between the starting point S and the end point E of the trunk 20 and extends in a direction different from the trunk 20, and a leaf portion 40 that is provided on the branch portion 30 and forms the leaves of the plant, and a bark portion (50, 60) that forms a wood grain pattern is provided on at least the outer surface of the trunk 20, and the wood grain pattern of the bark portion (50, 60) is formed by a shaping material.

[0033] In this way, by forming the bark portion with a shaping material, it is possible to easily obtain an appearance that imitates a real bonsai.

[0034] As mentioned above, the bark pattern of the craft bonsai 1 is created to resemble a real bonsai by the uneven shape of the shaping portion 50 and the color of the surface layer 60, and the crafter expresses its beauty. Details will be explained below using the drawings.

[0035] Figure 3 is a diagram showing the structure of the bark portion, Figure 3(a) is a diagram showing the state of the shaping portion 50 according to the first embodiment before processing, Figure 3(b) is a diagram showing the state of the shaping portion 50 after processing, Figure 3(c) is a diagram showing the state in which the shaping portion 50 is attached to the trunk 20, and Figure 3(d) is a diagram showing the state in which the surface layer portion 60 has been applied to the surfaces of the trunk 20 and the shaping portion 50.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 3(a), the shaped part 50 according to the first embodiment is composed of a base 50a, clay 50b, and paint 50c. As shown in Fig. 3(b), the base 50a can be made of, for example, a piece of paper, paper tape, or the like, in order to cut out the shaped part 50 by hand and process it into craft wood grain pieces 50d of various sizes and shapes (a plastic sheet, or the like, can also be used if it is cut with scissors, etc.).

[0037] The clay 50b is preferably one that mixes well with the paint 50c and blends in color well. For example, a white resin clay made from a commercially available resin and containing vinyl acetate resin emulsion as its main component can be used as the clay 50b.

[0038] That is, the shaping portion 50 of the craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment contains at least a polymer material (resin viscosity), and the unevenness is formed by the polymer material.

[0039] In this case, by using a polymer material to form the unevenness of the shaped portion, it becomes easy to form any desired shape.

[0040] The paint 50c is preferably one that blends well with the clay 50b and is suitable for handicrafts, such as commercially available acrylic paints, oil paints, etc. As with paintings, the artist can mix multiple colors to create the desired color for the paint 50c.

[0041] Then, different colors of paint 50c are mixed into the clay 50b little by little and kneaded repeatedly to produce the desired mixture of clay 50b and paint 50c, which is then placed on a base 50a as shown in Figure 3(a).

[0042] After the shaped portion 50 shown in FIG. 3(a) is produced, the shaped portion 50 is manually cut out to produce a plurality of craft wood grain pieces 50d of different sizes and shapes, as shown in FIG. 3(b).

[0043] In other words, the shaped portion 50 of the first embodiment is a plurality of craft wood grain pieces 50d of different sizes and shapes, and the craft wood grain pieces 50d comprise clay 50b, paint 50c, and a base 50a, with the clay 50b colored with paint 50c provided on the base 50a.

[0044] In this way, by providing a plurality of clay pieces 50b colored with paint 50c as craft wood grain pieces 50d, it is possible to easily obtain the appearance of a bonsai that imitates the real thing.

[0045] Once the required number of craft wood bark pieces 50d shown in Figure 3(b) have been created, as shown in Figure 3(c), the craft wood bark pieces 50d are attached to the outer surface of the trunk 20 previously inserted into the filler 10a so as to imitate the bark of the desired bonsai, thereby forming the unevenness of the bark portion of the craft bonsai 1 and forming the shaped portion 50.

[0046] Then, as shown in Figure 3(d), the surface of the trunk 20 and the craft wood grain piece 50d is coated with the surface layer 60 (the shaded area in Figure 3(d)), forming a wood grain pattern on the tree part of the craft bonsai 1 to imitate real plant resin.

[0047] In other words, the bark portion of the craft bonsai 1 of the first embodiment has a shaped portion 50 that forms the unevenness of the bark portion and a surface layer 60 that is applied to the surface of the shaped portion 50, and the wood grain pattern of the bark portion is expressed by the unevenness of the shaped portion 50 and the color changes of the surface layer 60.

[0048] In this way, by having the shape portion 50 and the surface layer portion 60, it is possible to obtain an appearance that more closely resembles a real bonsai.

[0049] As described above, the surface layer 60 is applied to the surface of the trunk 20 and the craft wood bark pieces 50d to form the wood bark pattern of the bark of the craft bonsai 1. The surface layer 60 is made of a mixture of powder, adhesive (for example, wood glue), and water (the color is adjusted with a colorant (paint, etc.) as needed), and is produced as a liquid coating that is easy to apply and has a viscosity that prevents dripping.

[0050] The powder for the surface layer 60 is generally so-called deep mountain soil (high-quality granular red or black soil collected from deep in the mountains, or a material that imitates such deep mountain soil (for example, deep mountain soil for crafts manufactured by Sansei Co., Ltd.)), but in the first embodiment, a powder of color-matched plastering material is used, making it possible to obtain an appearance that more closely resembles a real bonsai. Note that color-matched plastering material is a plaster wall material for decorative finishing purposes that contains soil, sand, adhesives (glue, etc.), coloring materials, aggregates, etc.

[0051] In other words, the powder of the surface layer 60 according to the first embodiment is a color-matching plastering material. By using a color-matching plastering material as the powder, it is possible to obtain an appearance that more closely resembles a real bonsai.

[0052] For the surface layer 60, other powders can also be used, such as natural soil, sand, plaster, diatomaceous earth, and polymeric materials used as raw materials for powder paints.

[0053] In other words, the surface layer 60 of the first embodiment is a mixture of powder, adhesive, and water, and the powder is at least one of natural soil, sand, plaster, diatomaceous earth, and a polymer material used as a raw material for powder paint.

[0054] In this case, the powder of the surface layer portion 60 can be easily obtained at low cost in the general market, making it possible to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0055] Any wood grain pattern can be used for the bark of the craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment. For example, vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, spots, scales, spots, kanoko, cork, hollows, white bones, withered skin, and smooth skin can be used.

[0056] That is, the wood grain pattern according to the first embodiment is at least one of vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, spots, scales, spots, kanoko, cork, hollows, bones, dead skin, and smooth skin.

[0057] By using at least one of these wood grain patterns, it is possible to obtain a bonsai that resembles the real thing.

[0058] 1, the craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment has a craft moss part 10b. The craft moss part 10b is a craft product that imitates the moss that grows on a real bonsai, and examples of the craft moss part 10b include those that imitate Sunagoke, Sphagnum moss, narrow-leaved oak moss, Yamagoke, Chinobugoke, and Sedum sieboldii.

[0059] Also, as the craft moss portion 10b, preserved moss, dried moss, artificial plastic moss, fine nylon fibers made to resemble moss, etc. can be used.

[0060] That is, the craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment has a craft moss part 10b that imitates moss, and the craft moss part 10b is at least one of Sunagoke, Sphagnum moss, narrow-leaved oak moss, Yamagoke, Chinobugoke, and Sedum umbellata.

[0061] By providing the craft moss portion 10b, it is possible to obtain the appearance of a bonsai with an aging effect that mimics the real thing.

[0062] Figure 4 is a photograph of the exterior of a craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment, where Figures 4(a) and 4(b) are photographs of the exterior of a craft bonsai according to the first embodiment, and Figure 4(c) is an enlarged photograph of the trunk.

[0063] As shown in Figures 4(a) to 4(c), the craft bonsai 1 of the first embodiment makes it possible to produce a craft bonsai 1 that is very realistic (very similar in appearance to the real bonsai) even when compared to a real bonsai.

[0064] <Regarding the Second Embodiment> Next, a craft bonsai 100 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 5 is a schematic front view of the craft bonsai 100 according to the second embodiment.

[0065] In the following description, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described. That is, the features that differ from the first embodiment will be described in detail, and the description of the parts that have the same configuration as the first embodiment will be omitted.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 5, the craft bonsai 100 according to the second embodiment differs from the craft bonsai 1 according to the first embodiment in the shape portion 150 of the bark portion.

[0067] Specifically, the bark portion shaping portion 50 in the first embodiment is composed of a base 50a, clay 50b, and paint 50c as shown in Figure 3, whereas the bark portion shaping portion 150 in the second embodiment is composed of foamed resin.

[0068] Figure 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of the bark portion in the second embodiment, Figure 6(a) is a diagram showing the state of the shaping portion 150 in the second embodiment before processing, Figure 6(b) is a diagram showing the state of the shaping portion 150 after processing, Figure 6(c) is a diagram showing the state where the shaping portion 150 is attached to the trunk 20, and Figure 6(d) is a diagram showing the state where the surface layer portion 60 has been applied to the surfaces of the trunk 20 and the shaping portion 150.

[0069] 6(a), the bark portion shaped portion 150 according to the second embodiment is made of a foamed resin. For example, a foamed polystyrene resin plate (Styrofoam (a registered trademark of The Dow Chemical Company)) can be used as the foamed resin.

[0070] 6(b), a plurality of craft wood grain pieces 150a of different sizes and shapes are cut from the shaped portion 150 using a cutting tool (scissors, a cutter knife, etc.). Note that the workability is higher than that of the shaped portion 50 according to the first embodiment, so it is possible to form more complex uneven shapes on the surface of the foamed resin.

[0071] Once the required number of craft wood bark pieces 150a shown in Figure 6(b) have been created, as shown in Figure 6(c), the craft wood bark pieces 150a are attached to the outer surface of the trunk 20 previously inserted into the filler 10a so as to imitate the bark of the desired bonsai, thereby forming the unevenness of the bark portion of the craft bonsai 1 and forming the shaped portion 150.

[0072] Then, as shown in Figure 6(d), the surface of the trunk 20 and the craft wood grain piece 150a is coated with the surface layer 60 (the shaded area in Figure 6(d)), forming a wood grain pattern on the tree part of the craft bonsai 100 to imitate real plant resin.

[0073] In other words, the shaped portion 150 of the second embodiment is a plurality of craft wood grain pieces 150a of different sizes and shapes, and the craft wood grain pieces 150a are made of foamed resin having air bubbles inside, and when forming the unevenness, the surface of the foamed resin is processed to form the unevenness.

[0074] In this way, the surface of the foamed resin is processed to form irregularities, so that the appearance of a bonsai that imitates the real thing can be easily obtained.

[0075] Figure 7 is a photograph of the exterior of a craft bonsai 100 according to the second embodiment, where Figure 7(a) is a photograph of the exterior showing the state of the craft bonsai 100 according to the second embodiment before the shaping part 150 is attached, Figure 7(b) is a photograph of the exterior showing the state after the shaping part 150 has been attached, Figure 7(c) is an enlarged photograph of the trunk 20 of the finished craft bonsai 100, and Figure 7(d) is a photograph of the overall exterior.

[0076] Figure 8 is a photograph of the exterior of a modified example of the craft bonsai 100 according to the second embodiment, Figures 8(a) and 8(b) are photographs of the exterior of a modified example of the craft bonsai 100 according to the second embodiment, and Figure 8(c) is an enlarged photograph of the trunk of the modified example.

[0077] As shown in Figures 7(a) to 7(d) and Figures 8(a) to 8(c), the craft bonsai 100 of the second embodiment makes it possible to produce a craft bonsai 100 that is very realistic (very similar in appearance to the real bonsai) even when compared to the real bonsai.

[0078] <Other embodiments> The above embodiments are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the bark portion is formed by the shaping portion 50 and the surface layer 60, but this is not limiting. For example, it is possible to imitate the bark pattern by using only the surface layer 60 as the shaping material for forming the bark pattern. Figure 9 shows a photograph of the exterior of a craft bonsai finished with only the surface layer 60.

[0080] Furthermore, the present invention may include at least the following embodiments, which may be adopted separately or in combination with each other.

[0081] (1) The bark portion has a shaped portion that forms the unevenness of the bark portion and a surface layer that is applied to the surface of the shaped portion, and the wood grain pattern of the bark portion is expressed by the unevenness of the shaped portion and the color change of the surface layer. By having a shaped portion and a surface layer, it is possible to obtain an appearance that more closely resembles a real bonsai.

[0082] (2) The surface layer is a mixture of powder, adhesive, and water, and the powder is at least one of natural soil, sand, lime plaster, diatomaceous earth, and polymeric materials used as raw materials for powder paint. Since the powder for the surface layer is readily available at low cost on the general market, it is possible to reduce production costs.

[0083] (3) The powder is a color-matching plastering material. By using a color-matching plastering material as the powder, it is possible to obtain an appearance that more closely resembles a real bonsai.

[0084] (4) The shaped portion contains at least a polymer material, and the unevenness is formed by the polymer material. By using a polymer material to form the unevenness of the shaped portion, it becomes easy to form a flexible shape.

[0085] (5) The shaped portion is a plurality of craft wood grain pieces of different sizes and shapes, each of which comprises clay, paint, and a base, and the clay colored with the paint is placed on top of the base. By providing a plurality of clay colored with paint as craft wood grain pieces, it is possible to easily obtain the appearance of a bonsai that imitates the real thing.

[0086] (6) The shaped portion is a plurality of craft wood grain pieces of different sizes and shapes, and the craft wood grain pieces are made of foamed resin with air bubbles inside, and the unevenness is formed by processing the surface of the foamed resin. Since the unevenness is formed by processing the surface of the foamed resin, it is easy to obtain the appearance of a bonsai that imitates the real thing.

[0087] (7) The wood grain pattern is characterized by being at least one of vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, spots, scales, spots, twill, cork, hollows, bones, withered skin, and smooth skin.
