What a fantastic work you are doing, Bjorn - not just with bonsai and education - with recording these bosai masters and capturing their timeless trees on video. Infinite strength to you.
Seeing the picture in the book of the same tree from 1979 was really something special.
Very emotional to see such an old tree with so much history, thank you!
Oh yeah, awesome video Bjorn. Im really looking forward to LOTS of Japan footage again and you building up your new place :)
I know this guy - the blond godzilla - He is the real deal! In all seriousness, if you have any topic related to Bonsai, Bjorn is the right guy for you!
Best wishes for 2024 in Japan. A courageous move after all your efforts in the USA. In 3 years when my wife retires. I hope to tour some bonsai nurseries and shows and share this inspiration with her. My humble garden holds around 60 bonsai and curating and developing them gives me enormous peace.
This tree is a treasure
Wonderful video
This is one elegant tree with a history...
If I ever needed a restart in life, I think I'd move to Japan (if they would let me) and become an apprentice bladesmith or bonsai caretaker. Devote my life to solitude and hard work under the guide of a master craftsman. Sounds so refreshing with everything going on in the world
You’ll basically be an indentured servant. Scrubbing toilets, cleaning ash trays, doing dishes etc.
I’m not saying it isn’t worthwhile. I’m just saying to not romanticize it too much.
Traumhaft .Gute Arbeit
i love the emotion and story telling of this video. great as always Bjorn
Great master🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of what we wouldn't have access to otherwise ! Cheers ! Eros from Miami !
Great video, fantastic tree. Well done.
these old bosais have a soul.. they are more like a human then a tree... i have cannabis plants ive kept for over 20 years that i feel connected to .. i cant imagine working with a 500 year old bonsai
The branches look like dragons. Amazing.
wonderful thanks for sharing
Thank you such a great tree👌
So great to see Fujikawa-san, yourself and Kaya. The other day at Kouka-en. I’m glad you told me about this video as it was fantastic to listen to the story of Hakuryuu.
What a stunning tree
Thanks for sharing this beautiful dragon 🐉. Looking forward watching along with your continued work and growth in Kyoto as well as visits to other gardens and work with other masters across the islands. 😊
Welcome back. Been waiting for any update on your bonsai journey..😊
A great tree with tons of history behind it. Must be an honor to work on material like this. Great job Bjorn!
what i appreciate most about these videos, isn't really the trees, but just watching someone live their true and full life. i've accomplished a lot of things since watching you put together your garden in the US. a very no nonsense : this is what i want, this is how to do it, this is me doing it approach.
Very nice. Can you post the earlier pic next to today's version?
Amazing, truly amazing. I have not had much luck with bonsai, due to a complete lack of skill as a gardener. I get so much enjoyment from my plants,I wish I could be better. Thank you ,sir.
This is what I love seeing - proper tree profiles with a background on their development. Incredible history and wonderful production, as always. Looking forward to seeing more from Eisei-en Kyoto!
I just have to go to Japan and see Hakuryuu and many other famous trees
Un grand merci pour la vidéo!
Bufff..... estos videos me chiflan. Gracias por compartir la esencia, el alma del bonsai. Un abrazo. Maybe english helps... love these videos. Thanks for sharing the essence, the soul of bonsai. A huge hug.
Fantastic mini documentary!
I wish you a very happy new year. I wish you all the best in Japan. Thanks for sharing Bjorn. Wonderful🎉!!!
Thanks for sharing Bjorn, this was amazing 😍
So much subtlety in this video...thanks for the translations as they add a lot. Also thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of art and history. We miss you in the U.S. and hope you keep inspiring us New World punters with great content from Japan. Great to see Fujikawa-san is doing well. I look forward to your next video as they are always a proverbial treasure trove.
Going to Japan for the first time in April! Cant wait to see real Bonsai irl!❤❤❤
Amazing video! Fujikawa-san has aged a good bit, I see. Best of health to him!!
Loved this video! ❤
Wonderful video! It's like watching "The bonsai art of Japan" but on steroids 🤩. It was also great to see you working this magnificent tree side by side with Fujikawa San again 👏😊
The goodbye from the US was bittersweet, but it's definitely fantastic to see you in Japan again.
I've also been to Japan recently after more than five long years of not being able to go due to Covid etc. It surely felt like coming home again.
It must be exciting being back again for you, too. I'm very much looking forward to all the future videos🗾
The White Dragon is gorgeous! Very fitting for the year of the dragon, too 🐉
The tree's provenance and history is as beautiful as the tree itself--all of those hands and minds that have cared for, and shaped it.
Best wishes in 2024 to you and your family in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
素晴らし盆栽ですねー!🙌✨✨
Thank you
A work of art and such a legacy! Thank you for filming and posting this! 👌
I absolutely love this. Videos like this makes me do bonsai even harder ❤
Awesome video…beautiful tree. Looking forward to your new content in Japan. You will be able to bring the western world an inside look into Japanese bonsai that we’ve never been able to experience to such an extent.
Best wishes for 2024 in Japan.
Thank you for sharing the story of this magnificent three! Great to see new content from you!
Best wishes for a good 2024 and for your new beginning in Japan ❤
Great video Bjorn. I’m inspired by your continuous growth, not just in Bonsai but in storytelling as well!
Happy new year Bjorn!👍👍🥂 Fantastic video and great job! I wish you all the best in Japan! You are a great professional and you will make great masterpieces there too! 👍👍👍👍🔝
Fantastic tree. I have to ask, instead of cutting off the lower branch, why not air layer it off? With such a rare tree it seems a shame to waste a part of it.
Really amazing
Thanks for the video!!!
Fabulous.
Takes patience and mastery to accomplish something like that. Love it.
really cool video!
When its time to cut off the lower branch, can you make that branch into a bonsai itself? I know you can wrap some branches in sphagnum moss, and it will grow roots. Hopefully you can do this with the lower branch so it will be saved and maybe name it "Son of Hakuryuu" or as Google Translate says "Hakuryuuu no Musuko"
Como me gusta volver a verlos juntos otra vez
Ive been watching lots of Bjorn videos the last month or so…I was at this very same bonsai garden in august. Only just realised i may have met bjorn and only now realised it just the second 🤦🏻♂️ shit.
Thanks for the video.
It would be great if you could edit a good photograph into videos like this. And if possible several ones with the year of the photo.
I can't believe to hear "the lower branches begin to sag, it's odd". Most bonsaians put a lot of effort into pulling lower branches down to make them look old. And he says, the tree does that naturally, so why "odd"?
Living. The. Dream.
Welcome home ;-)
❤❤❤❤❤
As always Bjorn, Your filming skills are on point. Is this the S35 Sirui lenses or have you upgraded to the FF ones?
Thanks Dean! It's the FF sirui. I used just the 50mm 1.6x squeeze for this whole episode.
@@EiseienBonsai Thanks. Have you considered pairing them with lidar or something similar?
👍👍
I wonder how hard is to transplant it.
💚
👍
Who takecare your bonsai in US master?
Probaby very rich people who also hire a gardener

Does anyone ever weigh the trees. It must weigh so much.
Aren't you suppose to be packing for Japan young man
