"Bonsai dating to the 17th century have survived to the present. One of the oldest-known living bonsai trees, considered one of the National Treasures of Japan, is in the Tokyo Imperial Palace collection.[19] A five-needle pine (Pinus pentaphylla var. negishi) known as Sandai-Shogun-No Matsu is documented as having been cared for by Tokugawa Iemitsu. [19][20] The tree is thought to be at least 500 years old and was first trained as a bonsai by, at latest, the year 1610.[19]" Source: Wikipedia, who quotes John Yoshio Naka, Bonsai Techniques II, Bonsai Institute of California (1982), p. 258.
