Bonsai demo by Masashi Hirao

Bonsai demonstration of a Spruce (Picea) by Masashi Hirao. The material was quite simple, so it was interesting to see how Masashi used his style and technique to create a Bonsai out of it. The demo was organized at Deshima Bonsai, by Teunis Jan Klein.

man I love that dude. Super unconventional when it comes to bonsai and his aesthetic is great.

[@BonsaiTalk]

I guess you can say, seeing a Japanese person deeply involved in Bonsai taking a leap into the world is the world of Bonsai taking a leap at the right direction. This is what we want, grow together.. //Bonsai Talk

[@nateguerra319]

just recently started practicing bonsai for meditation purposes and it has enhanced my mood and perspective on life I know it sounds cheesy

[@march11stoneytony]

Same for me, except it was marijuana instead of bonsai

[@patrickoliveira9496]

@@march11stoneytony you can make a bonsai with marijuana

[@privatechef86]

@Shawn Boss yes you can, if you keep it in the vegetative state.

[@HansKaramottoBonsai]

@Shawn Boss Yes you can with flower buds and everything! It only lives one year though...and then you smoke it! And I have pictures to prove it!!! 👌😜 Cheers, Hans van Meer. KARAMOTTO BONSAI.

[@nelsonlopesesteves3561]

I don´t understand the branchs positions, there are several, that begin at the same level, I thought that branches should be placed, like a spiral staircase is it not?

any particular reason as to why he isn't following the 2 branches principle? I mean he kinda does xonnext 2 branches but he doesn't stabilize them by including the trunk

[@budakazu]

waow what an artist amazing ! great video love the music

[@shashaali425]

why you use the wire? its that nessesery? what for? sorry im still new in bonzai... :3

[@YE-mj1hn]

+Shasha Ali Wiring is used for adjusting the shape however you want it to be

[@ThePurpleminds]

what kind of wire was used?

[@davidhughes4020]

Hi what type of tree is it and how long do you keep wire on Love the tree is only inspirers me Dave

[@Blaydrnnnr]

Fantastic job. A true artist. I just tried my first try at wiring. Only a few branches to see if I can get the handle of it without over stressing the tree. I am curious on how to know which size wire will work best for certain branches. Do you have a wire diameter to branch diameter ratio? Or just by experience? I only have about 6 sizes of wire for beginners work, but most of my trees are still VERY young. I only have a couple that are older. Is aluminum used here? Or was there copper as well? I have annealed aluminum and some copper. I would think the biggest ( thickest) branches may have used copper since its a harder wire, even when annealed? Or was all of this aluminum? As easily as the wire was shapeable, I was thinking all aluminum. It takes a long time to be able to see this kind of potential in a stock material. I am NOT there yet. Thank you for the demonstration, as a student, I need all the help and info I can get.

[@olliemad]

How's the bonsai going?

[@marilynjones5749]

Wire a microphone to the artist so that we can hear his comments, thoughts, ideas, as he works. Maybe he has a personality with jokes, etc.

[@REALDADD]

WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB! CONGRATULATION!

[@curtislee6173]

I am not a big fan of spruce bonsai because of the needle formation. However Masashi Hirao does a magnificent piece of work on this plant. I am very impressed.

Beautiful bonsai

[@sebastiansupel6220]

I love how all the amateurs step in and say it's abusing nature and why you have to use wire. The tree will live longer than your entire family tree most likely. Also, do you cut your grass and weed the garden? If so, please don't open your ignorant mouths and do some research so you understand.

[@rosanadancel7225]

Nice touch, love it.

[@rickschulte8594]

Wow, i would love to do your kind of work, very well done Sir;, i have an interest in Bonsai, but just have no idea where to begin, thank you, enjoyed the video and the great work on the tree. Sincerely Rick.

[@ChrisJones-vn5bc]

I too just started taking an interest. I'm just watching videos and spotting trees I might wanna try to harvest for next year. search KZbin for best lecture for beginners. should be a 9 part video playlist. I started their and I actually feel pretty knowledgeable after watching it. I think it takes about an hour or hour and a half to watch.

[@536767676533766]

I have 1 question, i love Nature verry much.And those Bonsai trees looks amazigh ;) But Bonsai is not abuse of Nature ?? can you please tell more about it, because i want to buy a bonsai tree. But i only worried about nature abuse !!

[@bonsaiempire]

+Moni Poppaea Di Maria Do you have a garden? Do you prune your hedges? Do you buy flowers? :)

[@536767676533766]

Bonsai Empire lol :) You are so right it is the same. It is the same as cut of the grass in the garden ;) Stupid of me i did not think about that. Thank you for the comment.

[@536767676533766]

Katralus 22 sorry

[@536767676533766]

***** nature is beautiful and gorgeus, the sea , flowers tree animals are way more beautiful then humans. humans are normal not beautiful. In my eyes Humans are the less inferiur on this Earth. Nothing. Nature is the best ;) i adore it

[@536767676533766]

***** ?? You mean Bonsai tree Compare me with nature , i am nothing look at the sea the big trees those are beautiful not me. Humans are only flesh nothing more we live mostly 70 years, trees the sea all nature are forever .

[@markperedo128]

what type of wire is best? or does it matter?

[@bonsaiempire]

+Mark Peredo Aluminum is considered easier to start out with, copper is used by more advanced students

[@catalinbiru8396]

+Bonsai Empire Hey, i`m new in this. Why do you use the wire for?

[@GCBonsai]

Great Artwork!

[@s.s.creation8595]

Tree name???

[@edgarbernada5414]

I'm impressed!

[@internalmartialpath]

How long before you can remove the wire?

[@bonsaiempire]

Jean-Paul Phan Depends on how well the tree grows. A few months probably.

[@ericbrown4761]

Let the tree tell you when to remove the wire. There is no set time. The more growth the branch has, the quicker they will set. When you see the branch beginning to swell around the wire, take it off. If the branch hasn't completely set, rewire it but coil the wire in the opposite direction than you did the first time. This will help you avoid the wire marks. I have left wire on my trees for up to, and even longer than a year without the first scar.

[@shawn656able]

Honestly, i dont like the front. The triangle shape gap in the middle is too wide and bare. Yes the trunk should be seen but the base is too wide. Great job on the work, but the tree didnt really change aside from a hair cut. The tree is sitting in the same bush shape. I think more limbs should have been removed also to add more shape and break up the green rainbow effect he has going on.
