Bonsai Anatomy: Learn the bonsai basics and answers to the question of what is a bonsai?

[@michaelgutierrez6937]

This level of detail made me feel like I was right back in human anatomy class. Awesome knowledge and awesome job!

[@its_notta_cedar]

This video and design fundamentals have been the two most important videos for me on Mirai live. Cool to see you posting this here, it'll be great for the world bonsai community. If you're a beginner this video will increase your ability to appreciate/judge bonsai ten fold.

[@yerawizardSav]

I watched several videos prior to finding this one, and boy do I wish I found this one sooner! Thank you for providing such an in-depth and contextualized lesson on this topic!

[@stevekatieburnett2042]

This is one of the only and by far the best description of a live vein in a tree. 👍👍👍

[@memyself1670]

He had that juniper of that quality since he was 12 and still alive?! Wow just some real love and talent.

[@rodericklippert1332]

This is probably one of the best instructional videos I've seen. Very easy understand and follow. I hope you continue to produce more of these fundamental videos. Well done!

[@robertobreglia9224]

Thank you very much Ryan for sharing this very interesting video! This is a great lesson of physiology and aesthetic of bonsai,very compliments for your incredible preparation and professionalism!👍👍👍👍

[@kite9039]

Best video I've seen in ages thank you.

[@timmywood9677]

What would you do with a bonsai tree that doesn’t like repotting. I have a Madrone bonsai tree. That I been growing in the same bonsai pot for 18 years. It growing great in the pot. But some of my club members said never repot it or it will die

[@Ben7x26]

You can put it in a bigger pot. That should never be a problem if the pot is only a little bit bigger

[@shivangnisharma9448]

Thank you! Great interpaly between horticultural and design fundamentals.

[@almac2598]

Thanks Ryan. Very informative.

[@fabricdragon]

i am insanely impressed that you have had that gorgeous bonsai since you were 12... is this your work? it seemed likely that it was a purchase or gift since its incredibly developed for a young person

[@oscarvidalquist]

Great video agaaaain!!! Bravo!

[@raymondplodzien7459]

Instead of a circle can that also be a square?

[@t3dwards13]

Very well explained Ryan!

[@lumirueluv]

Thank you, this is very helpful!

[@keefe4484]

thanks for sharing

[@Kurtlane]

Excellent introduction. Thanks so much. A question. Does everyone always agree on which branch is the sashieda (sp?)? Or are there sometimes discussions, such as: -- I think this branch is the sashieda. -- No way! That branch is the sashieda for sure! -- You're kidding! Etc. Thanks.

[@dracokaiser]

Ichi No Shashi eda= defining sleeve branch. Imagine the kimono sleeve swaying in the wind while a Maiko is dancing

[@PVProduktion]

It's actually Sa+shi eda = 差+し 枝 "character" + making it a verb (characterizing)+ branch. As I understand it.

[@ERexSean-tq2ye]

Excellent!!!

[@argonbolang72]

Sangat bermanfaat

[@OjaiBonsai]

I mostly see ginkgoes shaped like that. I miss Mondays at Mirai.

[@prof.puggle1631]

cheers mate!

[@christhibeau4685]

The trees are beautiful, and the amount of content is amazing. But a constant criticism i have with Mirai is the lack of accessibility of the information. Gives an impression of elitism and a bit of gatekeeping. Often I just end up switching to Peter Chan… It seems you have a lot of things to teach that I would like to learn, but please work on your communication and pedagogy. No hate here, just constructive criticism.

[@nickrobson2753]

12 minutes I'll never get back. Couldn't manage anymore. Too much repetition.

[@Josef_R]

8:30 You didn't say what you call the piece that originates from the roots there on the left. I call them suckers and snip them off.

[@mugdhachavan6903]

Do you teach people? I'm willing to learn.

[@Josef_R]

They will accept your money here: live.bonsaimirai.com/

[@alexeuerle7986]

I am seriously addicted to Ryan's videos. There are SO many videos on Mirai Live that aren't on KZbin. Check em out, he does live streams every week.

[@mugdhachavan6903]

@@alexeuerle7986 Thanks for the information!

[@brigittebrandmaier7122]

Ich finde dich super, aber kannst du das nicht mit Deutsch unterlegen. Wäre super 😳😁

[@Waldfalke]

Так это ж тайцзи. Укоренение, нижний даньтянь, верхний даньтянь и лук с натяжением, рука, кончик пальца спокойный или натянутый показывает характер. В форме - пустое и полное. Целиком характер дерева и соответствие канону описывабтся через тиграммы.

[@Evan-tt5kk]

So many big words

[@ConteSenzaScarpe]

I feel like if you aren't going to go into the 'exceptions' that are deciduous but not broadleaf (ie, angiosperm) species, you should have at least used a broadleaf as the demonstration tree instead of a ginkgo, which is a gymnosperm.

[@kioly_ah]

penjing ? is that correct? not bonsai

[@danielkosta3134]

The trees in this video are bonsai. Penjing is the Chinese form from which bonsai descended. Penjing are often done more in the form of landscapes including several trees, rocks, and figurines. These are often planted on a white marble tray. Single tree penjing are sometimes done in animalistic forms. Bonsai is the Japanese art . Mostly it is done with single trees which are shaped to resemble the shapes that the species involved would have in Nature. There are never figurines in a bonsai. Rocks are only used when the tree is actually growing on or over the rock. There are forests in bonsai but they are done without rocks or figurines as well. A related Japanese art called saikei includes several trees with rocks presented with a naturalistic appearance in a shallow ceramic pot.

[@abugaray4739]

Excellent presentation. Next time get a better shirt! Those pocket flaps do not match the pattern. Again excellent

[@mysteriouspikachuman]

Bonsai Squid Game confirmed

[@whatwewantAItodo]

That tree looks like a sawn off stump!!! 🤣

[@redeyestones3738]

I have never once searched bonsai videos ever. Ive never clicked on one befor now. Ive never commented or watched, or anything resembling an interaction with a bonsai video or channel. And yet, every time i get on youtube, every 6th-10th video suggested is a bonsai video. Can anyone tell me why that is, and how to make it stop? I couldnt care any less about bonsai, and its spamming my feed. Its very annoying.

[@MrMirco003]

A bonsai does not need to follow the rules to be a bonsai tbh.

[@joshshepherd2390]

You are technical ne very broad! Use lamens terms

[@michaelkmiec5842]

No just because you have a limited vocabulary doesn’t mean he should dumb it down

[@dylanrenaud503]

Lmao jesus christ. I don't think I've ever been so triggered by a comment. Bro. Google. Type the words you don't understand into the search bar. It's been a thing for decades.

[@JosephSAi2HT]

To not utilise sophistication into explaining something as complex in a living organism is to risk the disregard inherent in “oversimplification;” which becomes a disregard to providing public with tools for informed decision making.
