Why Bonsai Are So Expensive | So Expensive

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2019
- Bonsai is an artform that requires years of training, and centuries of dedication. At the 2012 International bonsai Convention a tree was on sale for one hundred million yen, just under a million dollars. And many more of these trees are considered completely priceless. So what is it that makes these trees so expensive?

Why Bonsai Are So Expensive | So Expensive - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This female bonsai master is also something of a "rebel" because Japanese traditional beliefs are very gender rigid. My wife attended an international bonsai conference in Japan, and the Japanese male presenters literally told the audience "you cannot be a Bonsai master if you are a woman" and "I am the last of my family to do bonsai, I only have daughters and no sons so my knowledge will die with me."
So for this lady to quietly go about being awesome in the face of huge discrimination makes her even more of a legend (in a quietly humble Japanese way of course).
This makes me not like her now. Return to tradition!!
Eddie you’re joking right ?
@@filipnine I choose to think he's trying to be humorous, but it didn't quite come off....
how i wish she teach it to her daughters, instead of feeding gender discrimiation
@@jlanish I think the daughters belong to that sexist Japanese male presenter (poor them). Not sure the lady has children or if they follow in her footstep.
Unbelivablee..the work this lady puts into those trees will show its effect maybe 2-3 generations later..she will never see what she has created. U cant put a pricetag on time..thats why bonsai are so expensive
Wow that’s really shows the love and care she has for future generations because now she isn’t doing it for the money anymore...
right
It's years* not generation
worst part is people who will buy it for million dollars as a showpiece won't even take care of it like her and it would eventually die in few years. So all her hard work is pointless
Summerdandelion1798 it’s not pointless, if at least one person sees it an is impacted enough to make a days person better, then it was better for it to exist then not at all
me:bonsai seems fun for my new hobby.
bonsai master: this took 25 years to create.
me: UNDERSTANDABLE HAVE A NICE DAY

Beginning a simple maple bonsai is easy, though potentially expensive
Imagine being able to hold a whole tree in your hand. The thought of it is so fascinating and wild.
Depending on how strong you are, you could hold a seedling or small tree that's not fully grown

I just got into bonsai a while ago and it's really helped me appreciate plants and especially patience a lot more than I did before! Just knowing that you're helping to grow and nurture something that might far, far outlive you is incredible and exciting. I love this hobby and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone! It's cheap too, you don't need all the fancy tools and pots at the beginning- just go out and look for tree seeds, plop 'em into the ground and water them. You can turn pretty much any tree into a bonsai if you want to and it's so much fun to go out into the woods looking for seeds or tiny seedlings to take home!
It's just magical to feel the the bonsai tree right now which your ancestors around 400-500 years ago garnered! How beautiful it is to pass down generations of thoughts & teaching through this art.
Just magnificent! ❤️
and I'm here thinking that bonsais are naturally shaped like that lol
Same 😭 I was today years old when I found out they weren’t
Oof...
Same!!!
Ikr
hyao39 what?😂
*Looking at my $25 bonsai from Costco* Somehow I don't think that much effort went into making you
Especially if it's plastic. Gosh I wish I had a realistic plastic one.
Normally it's just a ficus branch bend and cut at the wanted height.
Or the ones with really thick nebari-style root. It's done by grafting. So technically not a real bonsai.
Also takes some time to make these, just do not require the love and patience as the craftsmen ones do.

@@saudicomedyhomevideosksa8504 Huh?
divide et impera Im talking about how it doesn't matter that they did not put much effort into the tree since they don't have the same value and price
Such beautiful trees. My aunt has one she brought back from Japan in the late 70's and it's still very healthy and alive since it's like a child to her and she takes great care. It's old and she had it evaluated once (2012-2013?) and at the time, she could have priced it at $120k if she wanted to sell, but that wasn't going to ever happen. It's in her will and my cousin gets it when she passes. She even has a security cam pointed right at it just in case lol.
When someone raises ANY living thing for a long period of time, they grow attached to it. Its natural
*BEAUTIFUL CRAZY* 🤯 to think that they are alive for so long wow! that’s incredible.
Here u verified so free 👍
🤯🤯😊🥒😬🙄😊🥒🍑🥵🥵
very nice said could not explain better BEAUTIFUL CRAZY
and here I am trying to keep my succulents alive
Jason Chandra get them to a sunny place and dont water them to often. You will never be able to keep succulents alive in a dark bathroom. If you want a succulent arrangment in your living room get multiple ones and swich them every few days between a realy sunny balcony and your room.
lol I have a little succulent family of my own. A common baby cactus, baby aloe vera, basil (idk I just want to throw that out there), and a desert rose bonsai. The bonsai will be sprouting in about 3 weeks!
sameee 😭😩
Succulents are extremely easy to keep alive. Remember, they love sunlight. You can't keep them in the middle of a room. If you live in a cold weather state (like I do, I'm in Ohio), keep them outside for as much as the year as much as possible, as long as temperatures are above 32 F. Take them inside and keep them on a sunny windowsill during the winter. If you live in a state that doesn't experience freezing temperatures, you can leave them outside year-round. When we get a string of days here in the winter when it's above 32 F, I take mine outside. Even a cloudy day outside is brighter than a sunny day inside. Most succulents tolerate cold temperatures quite well, as long as it's above freezing.
Oooo..i love succulents...i have about 20 varieties...
To be able to turn large trees into small trees is a serious witchcraft.
@monika is best girl Really is tho
yeah and it takes 50 years or more to see the finished result AND It is STILL SMALL
Or simply generations of observation and dedication to control how plant growth
So this granny is a witch
We need Geralt of Rivia
“After 5 years I get an answer to my idea… because every tree must face the sun on its own.” I cried after hearing that.

What a wonderful, insightful allegory to that of a parent raising a child...
Anyone thinking we're like Bonsai? She states: it "keeps changing by how you love & manage it." We are no different from Bonsai.
i hope we're not, if someone purposely stops you from growing and force you into positions you dont want to be in, that seem like a not fun situation.

@@srivanthsai a round of applause for anyone who gets your reference
There was a small stand with maybe about a dozen bonsai trees in the town I live in. Each tress varying in size, the smallest obviously being the cheapest and the largest was around $400. I’ve always liked the way the trees looked but me and my cousin saw the price and was like “never mind, ain’t paying that much for a silly, but neat looking tree.” I wish I had know the amount of time and care it took to grow and produce one. Looking back I’m sure the person selling them off the tiny table was probably heartbroken by our brash ignorance.
I freaking love japan. They appreciate such subtle arts to depths of thought that would put Yoda to shame.
I am an English speaker and I find her manner of speech so relaxing

My Japanese neighbor invited me to look at his bonsai collection. He said he had them for decades now. Im was kindda laughing. He also wanted to give me one as I was always helping him showel the snow from his driveway without evem him asking me to. Now i have more than 15 bonsai. All were given to me by the old man. He passed away recently. I still take care of them. The bonsais must be over 400k
Edit: thank you for almost 4K likes, I still take care of them and many of you told me to sell them but NO, I will never sell them
Take care of them. Pass them on. Let his spirit live on
Don't ever sell them. Pass the legacy like he did.

"There are no immediate answers."
I believe what she expressed about Bonsai applies to pretty much everything in life worth tending to.
"After the branches are completed nothing changes anymore, but the bonsai keeps changing", that is so prophetic ❤
My father bought a bonsai when i was a kid. Now im the one taking care of it :)
R.i.P
That's actually sad... R.I.P
It's actualy beautiful because that's how bonsai works. My oldest bonsai is 30 years old and I'm 24. It's humbling when you think that people have been taking care of it before you, trying to make it perfect and now it's your turn. Especially If the tree is hundred of years old.
Bonsai is basically a lesson in humility and selflessness.
My tree lasted 1 week. We took care of it like a babyeh. But it decided to die

@@metaloopa6907 IKR!
My daughter was reading a book, and in the book it had this amazing piece of art. Then I went on TH-cam to search a video of Bonsai. Love it!
They are actually cheap. Consider how many hours of work and space takes a 50 year old bonsai.
That doesn't make something cheap, that just makes something worth it. There's a *_huge_* difference
@rings aliens really mature, buddy.
@@jozo496 in fact, it makes it cheaper than its value. Considering u need little to no material resources, all its value comes (as for almost any other thing) from the work put on it. So, I'd agree saying its cheap, market values have devaluated its price, not its value.
True, when you look at it, a giant tree of the same age would cost so much money to maintain.
@@deemac3470 also, keeping it alive while suffering huge amounts of stress and the knowledge behind this is work, too. Bonsai experts are no joke when demanding such or higher prices.
It's living art. No different than the amounts famous paintings or sculptures dictate. Just these have to be maintained a lot more to survive.
you forget that because they are living things they react their own way to what ever you do, unlike a painting or sculpture. A 800 year old painting will look the same from the day it was painted as long as u maintain it and an 800 year old tree will also change in addition to the maintenance
Well modern art is crqp, imagine paying a lot for basically a white canvas with some other white splashed around. These things are really good looking.
@Alex Meggoe I'm just saying that If I had the choice between a tree and art that doesn't even look good the majority of the time I'd choose the tree.
@Alex Meggoe Oh definently. If you mean these things where artists paint on the streets in front of you for money those are usually really cool. (And dont cost a fortune)
The beauty and wonder of nature is unmatched by any other single thing, almost as if it’s trying to tell us something
I love the concept and idea behind this video. Keep it up. I have to mention this also. In life the major goal is to be healthy, have a good shelter over your head, feed well and be FINANCIALLY STABLE in other words have money, once you have all this, life will be easy.
I agree with you but I must say the major goal is to have money just like you mentioned to be able to acquire good shelter, buy groceries and take care of your loved ones.
So your advice will be " For someone to become financially stable, he or she should invest?" If so, can you provide tips or guide?
Oh wow, this sounds interesting. So any recommendations about a portfolio manager that guarantees profits from the stock market with there services?
It’s honestly such an amazing art craft.
To be able to make trees that often tower over us smaller than us, is absolutely flabbergasting.
What we once used to look at from below, we can now look down at.
Bonsai trees look so amazing
I’m totally ok with these trees being super expensive, they look awesome
And the timelessness is amazing to me tbh like they said some can be 800 years old like imagine having a living sculpture that was alive during the renaissance
Danielle Spargo Bonsai in itself is an art form. And I believe if done right can be better than the best paintings, or any other visual art form.

She still works at the Matsuyamaen , the place is one of the most beautiful place in Nagano prefecture, especially in winter. It is a haven for Bonsai and cats , there are quite a few cats in the store, and she loves Bonsai and cats equally. She is a massive animal lovers and an active member of her community to protect the stray cats , have them neutered and spayed and also fed and sheltered.
She is truly an amazing lady.

Hope more people learn how to take care that will only show results many many years after, and value the tiny daily efforts to build something that will last for longer than us.

@@jensenraylight8011
OK if we go by that then I guess now all things made from wood need a price reevaluation because after all the forest owner had to wait years for his trees to grow right? And also do regular checkups and forest maintenance.
The only thing you could add are the storage costs but bonsai are small so...
They are overpriced but they are art and in high demand so the price is OK... But not because of worktime
@@martinerhard8447 okay, i could agree with that,
yes it not necessarily work time

That's only with very slow growing hardwoods and the very abstract stuff, there are lots of species that are more like 5 to 15 year projects
Some are really expensive, the ones that have taken decades, but the new ones are really cheap, not as beautiful but they will cost around $20.
You can also make a cheap knock off by just cutting down a bit thicker tree. Make it sprout again, shape the new twigs.
Criminally underpriced for the amount of work done.

Business insider really making me appreciate Japan, thanks for the video
I had the privilege of visiting the National Arboretum in Washington DC this past summer and there is a Bonsai garden of trees that are on average 200-300 years old, including one that survived the Atomic Explosion near Nagasaki that is 600 years old and was then offered as a peace offering from Japan following the war. That day gave me a whole new appreciation for Bonsai as it is way more than just an art form, it teaches many things
I hope this woman lives a long life so she can see her work flourish :) this is so sweet and I feel like she deserves to see the fruits of her labour and patience

When I started bonsai about 9 years ago I’d buy expensive bonsai ($100 - $200 usd)… and they’d die. I had no idea what I was doing. Now, I buy ones that are not potted or great finds… rule is they must be in decent health and under $20.
My favorite is a Japanese Juniper I found at Lowes. It was a beautiful cascade, but now I’m slowly making it more upright.
I have 6 I’ve been growing successful for 5 years, and it’s such a great art. I can keep them year round without killing them… there is so much to learn.
It's like the internet in Germany. You are looking for something on the internet and only in 3 years you can see the results.

Okay... was ? 😂
I thought you had good internet. Cheers from Milan (Italy)
Alberto Crescini haha germany is not more that good how it was before
I’ve got gigabit connection here in Milan, and almost 75% of Italians have in VDSL2 (up to 200mbps).
The reason it is so expensive is the crazy amount of effort it take to make one a crazy amount. Japan has a lot of expensive things because in Japan almost everyone takes there job seriously and puts a lot of effort in to it. So the expensive version of something in Japan is very expensive because in Japan they do not half fast something it is 100% or 0%.
Damn right brother
a generalization
Ah shit no wonder their hentai is grade a
I hope that lady lives forever. Thats the most beautiful banzai set I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing
Watching a bonsai gives a immense level of satisfaction. Don't know why but it makes the mind so calm

Lol🤣🤣🤣
The bonsais are like the grandma's grandchildren 🥰🥰
i wanted to start getting into bonsai. i had 2 flame tree seeds that finally germinated and started growing! 2 months strong and i had a little green stem and some leaves! i was so proud since out of 10 seeds only 2 made it out. and then.....my cats broke both plants, breaking the stems in half. I pretty much gave up after since all that hard work was taken away in mere seconds. I do want to try again, and for now ive just been researching more and more.
These bonsai's are so beautiful and Soo perfectly made like its so calming seeing a bonsai
I just bought a bonzai tree kit from a Japanese market in Chicago not knowing that it takes decades to see it grow into something so beautiful. 🙃
You got played, playa
Gotta take well care of them since your gonna have to pass it down to your grandkids lol
lol it would like throwing the money away if ever bought one because generally buyers dont have the skills to take care such a plant
Maybe those mature ones likes the century age ones doesn't need that much maintenance, I guess?
My guess is if you have the funds to buy one, you could probably afford hiring someone to maintain it
Iirc, they hire people to take of the Bonsai regularly.
Yep. I love em, bought 3 over the years and killed everyone. To much water or to much sun and now even sure how I killed the 3rd. Can’t wait till I get another one I like.
Get something like a ficus. They are strong af and look cool.
There are two local bonsai gardens and 1 (that I know of) retail outlet bin the Seattle area. I have to visit all of them occasionally just to see the beauty and craftsmanship. Love them.
This takes alot of Skill and Know how to do , I think it's Amazing . This Beautiful Lady has alot of Patients
