@@BigChief1529 I asked the meaning of bonsai, it means to suffer literally so it prays for rain twice and it should look sack cloth and ash, it should look as though it is too small to survive, too weak to grow up and too bent out of shape ever to look like a fist at the sky but a fist coming to greet you, ugly, from the ground, not worth reproach for eternity, that BigChief1529 is BONSAI. Imagine you are big toe in sock cut from thumb and in time you to will be BONSAI.
Living a simple life, accepting and appreciating the imperfections of oneself and, above all, of the world around us. A Japanese aesthetic and spiritual concept deeply rooted in Japanese culture, might be described. The most difficult part of the wabi-sabi concept is not only to apply it, but also to explain it. The difference is subtle, but it clearly demonstrates that, once again, Japanese concepts are lived and experienced more than they are explained, like ikigai, the quest for a happy, balanced life.
Let me say it like this, I am found either perfect or imperfect, I am made to suffer, in Bonsai there is to translate, no reward, to have suffered, life on bones, the ember meets the ray of sunlight, to humiliate, to rain twice though, 😢deny, lose and in the end, it accepts being ogled, Bonsai.
Went to mans house in the states who’s back yard looked just like his. I was dating a girl who was writing a paper about Bonsai and we went there to interview him. I walked around his garden completely enchanted.
Absolutely wonderful….so many wonderful ideas………..”emptiness….and slowness…gives space for our imaginations….Noh theatre….slowness enables the viewer…to partially create another story in their minds eye” ….simultaneously….thoughts, phrases …..please do make more……Such a beautiful film….I would love to see some on tea Japanese tea house, pottery and tea ceremony as meditation……thank you.
WOW! This was beautifully shot and directed. Of course Kunio Kobayashi has amazing work as well and an absolute legend! Hopefully one day I could visit his garden!
