Great to see this work in action on such a beautiful old white pine. Wish I understood Japanese, but visually, you understood the gist of what he was talking about. I think "seeing" the shape of the tree, like a sculptor is one of the most difficult things; not being afraid to remove a substantial branch. Comes with experience.

Really good professional job. I love the blue clothes he is wearing, they look really comfortable.

[@davidr4186]

[@JacobFirlotte]

Wow

[@robertlefler6644]

What a really cool show of technique, especially the jin. Geez I wish I could understand him, but the non the less, cant wait to see it fully developed with nice clouds of green floating around that aged trunk. It still has years to go.

[@MrYoumitube]

I swear every time he cut a branch my heart skipped a beat.

[@VeryZesty]

How I wish I knew more japanese. I feel like gold is pouring out of his mouth and I only have a sieve to catch it.

[@jeremesalazar3134]

Beautiful sir, we can see the bole up to the top as well as the cascading canopy of the needles of the pine...wonderful. I like it very much.

[@TheJimford]

[@archaic.nature]

Oh, this is extremely fascinating. I don't speak any japanese, but this looks like a real master at work. ... and the trunk looks like darth vader from star wars in some of the shots, prior to the jinning. :D

[@CaligulaMain]

[@bobking390]

This class would have been much more effective with some kind English translation. Valuable comment, were lost.

Looks like they did, thank you

[@toddbrittain800]

My view, as a forester AND bonsai enthusiast, is that the tree looks better in its 'unstyled' state. Much more representative of a large tree. Bonsai masters or not, I think the japanese penchant for overstyling trees, especially conifers, to the point where they all look like generic representations of the classic bonsai aesthetic, much like a painting, invites criticism. I understand this gentleman is styling the tree according to his own interpretation of how the tree should look and I respect that, but most trees in the wild don't look like this.

[@wildboystv3013]

You aren't trying to make it look like most trees. You are trying to make it look like that one tree which has lived through it all. Lived through wind storms at the top of a cliff, lightening, snow, ww1 bombs where all the other trees were blown up but this one still lived...on and on. Making a bonsai that looks like the average tree would be boring and take no skill or technique. Just put it in a pot. There.
