Sizing Guide
🌿 BONSAI DISPLAYS
Quick Rule: Figurine height should be about 1/3–1/5 of bonsai height. Always keep the tree the main character.
Inspiration: Figurines are accents. Sometimes a small piece feels right, other times a larger one works. Step back, look at your tree, and let your eye tell you what feels balanced.
Ideas to try: A lantern under an upright tree, a bridge near a slanting trunk, or a fisherman at the base of a cascade. Mix and match until the scene feels natural.
