🌳 Bonsai
A quiet tatami room at the top of your profile, with a bonsai on the low table, planted the day you pick the theme. It grows with every Chapter you post, from a sprout to an old master. Visitors can pick up the copper watering can and water it once a day, and every watering helps it grow a little. It looks thirsty when you go quiet, the lanterns light the room at night and the garden outside the door follows the season.



A closer look
A tatami room with a bonsai on a low table fills the top of your profile, with paper lanterns and a garden outside the door. A small label shows the tree's stage (from sprout to Old master), your stats hang on wooden plaques with a red seal, and your Journeys hang like scrolls on a rope. Journeys without a cover get a brushed kanji instead, and a little bonsai sits on your cards in the Feed.
Made for
- Anyone building a habit, one step at a time
- Gardeners, makers and slow crafts
- Calm, minimal profiles
It goes everywhere you go
A theme isn't just your profile background. Your Journeys show up in the Bonsai style in other people's Feed and in Explore too, so everything you post carries your look.
Tips for your photos
Bonsai is made for slow work that grows with time: gardening, woodwork, calligraphy, ceramics, a language, a long craft project. Calm photos in natural light and earthy colours look best on the rice-paper page. Post often and the tree grows with you; ask friends to water it when they visit.
