I've never seen someone using some of those words before, so I learned something new today. Thank you :) By the way, if someone is interested: 神 / ジン _jin_ stands for "god" and 舎利 / シャリ _shari_ for the "remains (bones) of buddha".
Is there a a reason that the Kana-writing is in Katakana? My Japanese is very rudimentary but I've never seen Katakana used in such a traditionally japanese field like Bonsai.
People just don’t realize that most people from Bjorn’s birth generation had to travel to Japan to get an education in traditional Bonsai, which I’d imagine would require him to speak Japanese to an extent.
I guess I can blame my southern pronounciation of "Bonsai" on all of the Georgia diabe-tea I've drank because I've been screeching "LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR" forever and no one has stopped me... Excuse me while I go correct myself 😂
I collected some terms from a Japanese website, but as I am not fluent in Japanese and there are many, I was amazed by the technical specifications. thanks for the video!
Is land is being cleaned to build a house or redoing the landscsping of my yard, digging up the old shrubs and making a few into bonsai considered yamadori ? In my case next spring we plan to do so new landscaping. This includes removing several Japanese Yews my dad and I planned (1 gal nursery pots) in sumner 1977.
Bjorn, you mentioned a term in one of your videos that has piqued my curiosity - "mochikomi" (which I think is 持ち込み as in "carry on"). I've asked Japanese friends and they're not familiar with this term in any context other than at the airport!! Can you explain? Is it because my Japanese friends aren't familiar with bonsai so just don't know this context? All the best from London.
Mochikomi A standard term to refer to the years of cultivation of a bonsai tree. It means the years of cultivation as bonsai in a pot. For example, one expression is that '''Mochikomi' is old.'' This is a description of a bonsai tree that brews a sense of antiquity and rich taste on its trunks and branches after being grown in a pot for a long period of time. A bonsai tree that is cultivated in a pot for a long period will naturally have a sense of elegance. Its trunks and branches brew a sense of the traditional Japanese aesthetics of ''wabi'' and ''sabi.'' So, whether ''mochikomi'' is old or not will decide the value of the tree. Cheers, Hans van Meer.
盆栽 is Chinese Han character though When this hobbies adopted by other ethnic OR other race they use their own language pronunciation so it becomes Bonsai, bonzai. In China there are many ethnic group as well. So bonzai can be pronounced in many different pronunciation. Mandarine call PenZai Cantonese call PunChoi And many more dialect pronunciation though. The only thing remain unchanged is the character of Hans for this hobbies
Yay, we're getting a video on collecting! I literally live in the middle of a forest with all kinds of potential yamadori, but I can't seem to keep them alive after collecting.
Conocer que los japoneses llaman ¨Nebari¨ a la base de un árbol me va a convertir en mejor artista del bonsai? Por favor que alguien me lo explique...gracias.
新木 _araki_ = 新 new + 木 tree. Nice looking trees from nature that are collected but not worked on yet. So maybe you could call it something like a collected pre-bonsai.
awww man, I think you've got a great deal to pass on to newbs and others, but deleting my sexist comment is almost too much! Specially with half the people here oogling his buffness :D
Why do we use japanese terms for this? My car was built and engineered in Germany but I still use english terms to describe it's parts. Wheels windshield and roof.
I would assume it's down to a combination of historical reasons and force of habit. Bonsai is a Japanese art form, after all. And it's not unique. It's similar to how a lot of, say, classical music terminology is Italian (allegro, pizzicato, adagio, etc).
because the knowledge obtained mostly from the people study from Japan and China. I think people use Japanese tern because the language is easier to remember for western people compare to Chinese. Of course you can use your own language to specify a term, but when it come to international communication, one universial term is easier for everybody to communicate. Or maybe it's just because Japanese sound cool. idk

Bjorn is crafting perfection in his trees and his physique
#bromance
#ghey.
Second reason we watch 👅
Indeed
Bjorn is my favorite TH-cam bonsai guy. I find his style relaxing and personable. But come on Bjorn, you know that shirt is too small for you. 😆
I've never seen someone using some of those words before, so I learned something new today. Thank you :)

Bonsai U supporter here - I LOVED this video (all of them but especially this one). Well done, Bjorn.
I love the boxes you use to illustrate / highlight the parts of the tree
Excellent. Perfect content for short but informative videos. And such beautiful trees to describe terminology. Thanks!
Love your content Bjorn, just not enough of it 😀
th-cam.com/video/l6_ZGaAN8EI/w-d-xo.html
I know what you mean. But more content usually means less quality and I don't think we want that.
Who on earth would try to correct Bjorn's Japanese pronounciation?
Totally agree! LOL! Also love that Bjorn has no issue with bringing it up.
People just don’t realize that most people from Bjorn’s birth generation had to travel to Japan to get an education in traditional Bonsai, which I’d imagine would require him to speak Japanese to an extent.
@@MrRemakes exactly, people just feel like they have an education in stuff they know nothing about
love your new intro. After 30 years heard some terms I have not heard before. Thank you
本当に面白いですね！😯🌲
教えてくれてありがとうございました！🙏
Can we get a Vlog style video in that awesome editing. Morning routine/daily life at the garden?
Another fantastic video Bjorn
Another great video Bjorn. Learning bonsai terms was the first thing that inspired me to begin learning Japanese!
You are very good teacher bro.
Is he getting buffer or are his tshirts shrinking?
He is one gorgeous hunk of a man. Oh and an expert bonsai master as well :)
Yes
Very informative. Looking forward to the collecting video. Hope that comes out soon.
I really like your explanation
Been doing bonsai for 20 years and still not as ripped as this dude is he using industrial pliers?
Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Great. Very utile for beginers. 🍁🌳🌲❤👌
Thanks Bjorn. Your video editing is inspiring!
Interesting bonsai facts and chill music in the background, what more can you ask for ;)
So cool. I'm actually learning Japanese at the moment (though I'm a way off Kanji characters). It's cool to match the terms to the characters
I guess I can blame my southern pronounciation of "Bonsai" on all of the Georgia diabe-tea I've drank because I've been screeching "LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR" forever and no one has stopped me... Excuse me while I go correct myself 😂
I collected some terms from a Japanese website, but as I am not fluent in Japanese and there are many, I was amazed by the technical specifications. thanks for the video!

@@HansKaramottoBonsai Thanks Hans. I see you asked/answered the same question some time ago too!
Do you have a greenhouse for tropical trees?
Holy crap you’ve buffed up.. inspiring
What about tamagotchi?!? Great vids , keep it up !
still beautiful bangka belitung bonsai
盆栽 is Chinese Han character though
When this hobbies adopted by other ethnic OR other race they use their own language pronunciation so it becomes Bonsai, bonzai.
In China there are many ethnic group as well. So bonzai can be pronounced in many different pronunciation.
Mandarine call PenZai
Cantonese call PunChoi
And many more dialect pronunciation though.
The only thing remain unchanged is the character of Hans for this hobbies
ฟังไม่ออก แต่ชอบ🌳🌲
Great video
Baie dankie /Thank you
Bjorn, looking your arms, you're stronger than vinegar!!!!!!!
Collab with Ryan Neil
I want to see a work in that super mega big bonsai in the minute 4:40!!! Please!!! Is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers good video
he did do a video of repotting this tree: th-cam.com/video/6hMjTCDdLmY/w-d-xo.html
Intro reminds me of Gugu... instead of slapping a steak on the grill, Bjorn breaks out the tools. Hmmmm steaks n bonsai....
Hahahaha, bonzai, that made mi giggle
Yay, we're getting a video on collecting! I literally live in the middle of a forest with all kinds of potential yamadori, but I can't seem to keep them alive after collecting.
Do you mentor in NC?
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 👍
Conocer que los japoneses llaman ¨Nebari¨ a la base de un árbol me va a convertir en mejor artista del bonsai? Por favor que alguien me lo explique...gracias.
Where is Ragnar?
Damn that diamondback is huge.
I like to do bonsai style with my cannabis plants. Bend them, and twist the main stock. It’s a cool mix of the two worlds
And the mean of ARAKI?
新木 _araki_ = 新 new + 木 tree. Nice looking trees from nature that are collected but not worked on yet. So maybe you could call it something like a collected pre-bonsai.
Looking more muscular 💪
Los tíos de van por ahí sacando árboles de la naturaleza, deberían estar metidos en prisión
awww man, I think you've got a great deal to pass on to newbs and others, but deleting my sexist comment is almost too much! Specially with half the people here oogling his buffness :D
Thank your for clarifying much confusing pronounciation of bonsai and bonzai.
You're one of few Americans or Canadians that doesn't mispronounce bonsai as bone-sai
Why are you so handsome
Is that a spuce in front of you?
I watched the karate kid growing up. The third film is not that good, it’s just a bunch of guys abusing bonsai trees.

The ability to absorb vocabulary from other languages is, in fact, the greatest strength of the English language.
@@GeirFriestad Very interesting point about the classical music terminology.
@@1hayes1 The ability to absorb vocabulary from other languages is not something unique to English. I agree that it does have benefits.
Boring hair.
