Masahiko Kimura creates a Bonsai 

なんだ、日本の文化で外人が金とんのか？この野郎

some really great shots of all the trees. thanks for posting to RU-vid and then GOOGLE. 👍

Wonderful!

Glad you liked it! There is some more previews in the curriculum of this Kimura Masterclass: www.bonsaiempire.com/courses/kimura-masterclass

peter olsen its a preview of the total work, it’s still nice to see a master working, especially if you want to see the whole tree rescape.

NanoTLG , I see no comparison.

@@JohnnyGreenroom behave.

First of all, to call Peter a 'baby' by comparison is disingenuous and completely unnecessary. Secondly, first hand means you've quite literally witnessed them both work, in the flesh - have you? You're not comparing some layman to Kimura, you're comparing a man with 50 plus years experience with 21 RHS Gold Medals.

Makes sense, while I respect Peter Chan contribution to the bonsai community. Kimura is a Pro Bonsai Master who is world recognised and has won all the most prestigious awards in Japan in which IMO is the pinnacle of bonsai artistry. There is a reason why many recognised Bonsai pros go to Japan to learn the art and then make a reputation of their own. I have a few Peter Chan books, but Kimura is like Mount Everest level. It's like comparing a Harvard Mathematics Professor to a really good high school maths teacher. I would gladly pay to watch a Kimura demo while I would be happy to browse and watch a "free" Peter Chan video.

As you!

I don't think he's bored, that's concentration. He also seems annoyed at constantly being asked "so what are you doing now!?", when he's still just doing the basic routine maintenance that had been neglected. "How many times do I have to say: 'I am just removing the dead and unnecessary branches' ?" Meanwhile he's probably visualising and thinking about what to do with the branches that will be left. Then "how do you not break the branches?" -> "I stop applying force when I feel it's about to break"... What a stupid question. How do you know to close the lid on a container without overly tightening it? How do you hold anything without crushing it? All equally idiotic questions as what was asked.

It's poorly put together. Half of it is him wrapping raffia. You get the idea pretty quickly; you don't need to watch so much of the process. This man is clearly revered for his work (evident in the way his acolytes attend to him); it's a shame we don't see more of it and the thoughts behind his decisions.

you saw 15 mins of what could have been hours of work...

You are a very ignorant person, who has no idea about bonsai culture in Japan.
