Excelent materclass

how to watering the trees when in set up of exhibition?

i would enjoy getting lost in Kitayama Tokan-en given the endless possibilities making it hard to settle on just one.

Always enjoying your presentation, will follow you all the way....thank you so much and all the best to you and your beautiful family for 2025 and beyond 🎏

Bjorn you are the Steven Spielburg of Bonsai videos. 😀

Top drawer video thank you!

Holy crap that Chozubachi is a show stopper. Most excellent.

Whats up with your eyes???

Excelente video , el ritual de la bendición me pareció una maravilla y todo lo de las piedras muy hermoso y muy espiritual, todo estos programas sobre la construcción de la casa en KIOTO me ha parecido fascinante, yo soy arquitecto dedicado a los bonsai y lo he disfrutado mucho, saludos y muchos exitos

Wish you all the best with the build, in good health and safety!

It would be nice to have some captions as to what exactly you’re doing and using. And why you do the cuts you do?

I like the nebari with the roots crossed. Why is that technically frowned against?

Nice video, where did you get your T-shirt from in the video? Or can we buy it from you?

Bonsai is a dying art in Japan, its great to see the culture, science, knowledge and art being curated and preserved by new generations and people from around the world

Looks amazing and I’m enjoying watching it

Loving this garden build! Thanks for sharing

I always waiting every vlog u make,, it's very joy to watch,, big Love from Bali ❤

Is more interesting to see a house being built by Japanese. They build houses more traditionally, in fact if there was a job in Japan dedicated to watch a house being built by hand or traditionally I’d be there.

13:21 😂😂 il enlève le cailloux

Do you still live in Kyoto?

Thank you for making such good videos it is pure inspiration! i wish you good luck!

In early 2021, our house was partially destroyed in a storm. We were able to find a very small apartment for our family, which included a newborn. We were stressed, tired, heartbroken, but hopeful. Late at night I would bottle feed the baby and try to get it to sleep while my wife slept. After a couple of nights staring at the wall in a tired haze, I put on youtube and tried to find something relaxing and visual, so that I didn't have to turn the volume up. And I ran into this channel and the styling videos. I've been watching ever since. It's so amazing to see how much has changed for you (and me) in that time. I'm looking forward to the final house build, but I'm also really looking forward to your garden. I can't wait to see it. I only wish I had been able to make it to Tennessee before you moved on. I hope things continue to go well for you!

Me encanta todo el contenido que compartes con nosotros,inspirador y constructivo... Este vídeo no da la opción de poner subtítulos en español... Saludos

👍👌🙂

So exciting! It make me feel like if it were my own project. Waiting next steps 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

An interesting and respectful tradition. You have done well by repositioning your life and values to a culture that you feel at one with that allows you to experience greater zen style moments with your family. A thoughtful and bold move. Cheers Craig

Thanks for showing this. Looking forward to the house and nursery build series

Great video. It brings back so many memories. Resident in Hong Kong in the late 70's, an Univ. of HK professor had a collection of Japanese stone lanterns. They ended up in various antique shops after his death. I got a nice Oribe style lantern from the collection. It sat in the corner of our bedroom for a few years. I had spotted one of those foundation stones in a Korean market but could not figure out how to get back to HK. Next trip to Japan I had convinced my wife that we need the water basin. Her family must have thought me crazy and instead of the two of us going to the stone garden shop it turned into a family affair giving advice and consent. The pair have resided in our US home arranged in tea garden style for the last 36 years. Thank you for great tour of the shop and the blessing of the home site.

Can't thank you and your family enough for sharing this wonderful journey! I would never have been able to experience this without your generosity...

Traditions are everything in a community

So happy for you all. I can not wait to see how all this turns out 🙏❤️

So interesting to see all this. There's a whole different world out there. Love it. :)

Hey Bjorn It was fascinating to see this for once. Many thanks for the insights. I have a feeling it's going to be great 😊

Love following along. Cheers, Bjorn.

There is something wonderful about respecting tradition that encourages respect for the social and geographic environment.

As always very interesting and informative. I have never seen these ceremonies before.

Best of luck.

I think the old foundation stone as basin was a good choice over the more "unhewn" slabs. Not just because of its obvious age; but it will sit in a relatively confined space, next to a house sitting between other houses, not in a landscapy temple garden that seems boundless. A stone that once was part of a building and is now returning to nature is a much better fit there.

Bjorn and Family thanks So much for bringing Us to your Land ,with the Blessings of your Land , I to pray that your Home and New Business will Grow and teach new Bonsai students to become Masters of Bonsai so Day. Peace

👍

Enjoying the cultural education. Keen to see the building take shape. 😊

🖖

Excelente, gracias.❤

All these videos are making me so excited for spring and summer in the states! I'm really loving this focus on garden building.

Mr. Kitayama didn't know if there was a smaller lantern available?

I love the fact that you are doing everything by the old japanese tradition it's truly inspiring,good luck with everything in 2025...

Was this before those beautiful trees were planted? I couldn’t see them.
