    In 2005 we had a meeting with Masahiko Kimura and a young student was there. The student Ryan Neil ghas become a world teacher in bonsai later. There is an interview with Ryan telling the story about being an apprentice.
    Masahiko Kimura shows his famous bonsai forest. He also tells how he started with bonsai - and more.

    Wow seeing young Ryan is refreshing. The work hours are ridiculous though

    Kimura works not to be everyone taste, to me, there is no greater influence in Bonsai to the world than Master Kimura. He is visionary, daring, innovative, bold and mixes great technique with sensibility. Some of his trees look like they belong in an art museum. Thank you for posting.

      as walt pall says "making broccoli trees". If bonsai is a miniaturization of nature then japanese bonsai is anything but that. Never seen a tree in the wild that looks like your "museum" quality tree. Japanese bonsai is its own style and not a representation of naturally wild trees

      @@yoteslaya7296in some cases I agree, those exaggerated thick trunk pines with perfect domed foliage, look very unnatural. However those forest groups kimura creates, look identical to an actual forest.

      You need to go out in nature more, and nature across the world is different than your city park you go to and call "going to nature". @@yoteslaya7296

      No it's not unnatural, it's perspective, when the trunk is given as exaggerated it is the perspective of you being close to the tree, you have to learn to imagine yourself as miniaturized too, and standing close to the tree. Naka went over all this in his books. This is all beginner bonsai stuff, but I guess if you just get your bonsai education from the internet and a two tree collection from a mall stand, then yeah I can see from your position. @@samyoel5384

      @@yoteslaya7296 Simply don't place it in the pot, otherwise it's not natural. Trees belong outside of a pot. Once you manipulate it then it is not natural. Walt Pall contradicts himself why say B.S like that, why not just appreciate beauty for what it is. If I want to appreciate nature I go to a forest or a beautiful garden, if I want to appreciate bonsai, then I would go to a garden like Kimura. Bonsai is an art! Am I going to tell Leonardo Da Vinci , Monet Vang Gough they cant paint because it is not life-like? Walter Pall is an idiot!

    Great video🌲😀. Flipping a tree - blow my mind. Beautiful to see him talking about his famous forest planting. Allowing people to fill the empty space with their own sensibility. Thanks so much for posting 🌲

      I have a couple hundred, many works in progress. I get the most satisfaction from developing a tree from a airlayer or collected material--I don't like to buy completed works. It's like the satisfaction is already gone, plus there is nothing worse than losing a tree you paid big money for!! @@OneAcer

      Really? Why, I've been there he's a baby Kimura, he has some wild stuff at his place, and as a member of BSOP I saw his 12 lectures a couple years ago, he knows his stuff too, yeah he's not going to take your seedling and work it over 30 years, but he does get world class material from Randy Knight and brings it to full potential. I honestly do not see anyone else doing anywhere close to this in the US. If you do let me know! @@yoteslaya7296

    I want to call apprenticeships slavery, but I'm so obsessed with the art of Bonsai that I spend any given moment in any day to work on it. Hell, I'm soaking wet here in New Hampshire from collecting Yamadori English Junipers in the pouring rain. I guess I don't have to water them now after already transplanting into the ground. The big one will be a great mother plant for future air layering next Spring. Cheers y'all!
