Nope... Originally it came from China like Sushi, Ramen and Kanji. But the Japanese refined it.

[@Yinyang1277]

It originated in China… Japanese culture adopted it and more people in general found love for bonsai as a hobby so it blew in popularity because a lot of people in Japanese value perfection of art and nature. Bonsai… is the perfect hobby lol. As a result Japanese people love to grow them, but so do the Chinese. I learned this from multiple sources including this super old mom and pop bonsai shop where I got my now 13 year old ficus tiger bark. She explained that it originated in China and the popularity spread fast especially with the ficus bonsai family.

[@ibobeko4309]

You need few years of experience to come this conclusion ? i watched some clips yesterday and today and i know what he is doing, he is preparing the tree for his future SHAPE. It looks awful right now but in the future this tree will look amazing. He cut the branches so they split and expand, in the direction he wants and with the rope he adjust them. And then cutting the wired branches (hanging, dead, crossing, etc) the normal stuff, pruning. Bonsai looks complicated but what you need is imagination and some balls.

He has to cut, bend, strip and oil it over many weeks for it work and grow in the way he wants. Of course he is doing it quickly as it is a presentation for watchers.
