Inside the RAREST Plant 🪴 Nursery in 🇯🇵 Japan - Hanauchu | Private Tour with Master KUNZO Himself!

[@rabbitsandphilodendron]

What Miyazaki Hayao is to art, Kunzo is to plants. He has so much wisdom and craftsmanship, it's incredible. And you can not only feel his passion in everything he does, his passion is also very infectious and inspiring.

[@onlyplants]

Oh yes. One of a kind.

[@bungamatahariochre]

and they dress up similarly

[@emisopiah]

"It's extremely rare to secure an interview with Kunzo Sensei, and capturing a vlog at their place was a special opportunity. I feel incredible and you are fortunate, and i know this video is going to hit a million views." And by the way I'm living here in 🇯🇵 and im 🇵🇭

[@onlyplants]

Thank you, I feel so grateful for this opportunity.

[@MaimoonBintiOoyub]

🎉 tq if only I'm not an osteoporosis, can't continue my hobby much, fr k.

[@hausoflov]

I’m barely starting the video, but I just wanted to say , that it is awesome that you honor your family with your appreciation for them, right in the beginning of the video and your sister is awesome for supporting you and helping as well. 😊

[@onlyplants]

Thank you, I was fortunate to have a family like this. We went through lots of ups and downs, especially in these few years. But in the end we are always there for each other. ❤️ I hope most of my viewers experience love and support from their loved ones too.

[@hausoflov]

@@onlyplants same here, I would not be here if it was not for my family either. 💯💚

[@jovanessavf164]

You have an amazing family, Sean! As a linguist, I'm awed at the multilingual prowess of the fam! And that intro by the master himself!.OMG, listening to it made me feel like I was all of a sudden wearing a kimono and kneeling in front of him as he preached! So spiritual and precious! ❤

[@onlyplants]

Haha I was mentally kneeling down in front of him the whole way.

[@jovanessavf164]

@onlyplants Riiiight??? I am so humbled by this experience even though I was only living it vicariously through you. 💕🙏 Take care and stay safe!

[@Grahamcracker6366]

I really enjoyed this video. He has a great sense of humor. I really liked the variegated ponytail palm, the Devil succulent, and the snowflake bromeliad. For the subtitles - thank you to your sister.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. I just realized how important subtitles were. Ill be manually editing subtitles in the upcoming episodes.

[@cascadianroots]

Yes the devil kun was very cute😅

[@kieutrinh1201]

It brought tears to my eyes how appreciative you are of being there with Mr. Kunzo, and having the opportunities to learn from the master along with your family members. Mr. Kunzo is truly an icon in the plant community with his idealism of harmony between humans and nature. Im in awe every second of this video!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. Very kind of you to write your thoughts here ❤️

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Sean, I can't thank you enough for sharing to us intimate tours and interviews with iconic plant collectors across the globe FOR FREE!

[@onlyplants]

Haha Im happy to be able to tell their stories. The world needs to hear. ❤️

[@janecurtis5726]

I would love to go on a field trip there!! His love for plants is infectious!!

[@onlyplants]

Haha yes. He has open houses a few times a year!

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank you. Thats a cool emoji!

[@brocktoon8]

: O : O : O : O : O !!!! Wooooooow, what an absolute treat!!! My eyes and ears have been glued to the screen from moment one! Golden ticket is right! And I love the relaxed and jokey vibe you guys have with such a legend!! I am so grateful to be a fly on the wall for this incredible presentation. That variegated pine? I didn't realize those existed! Can't wait for the next parts!!! Thank you Sean, so much for your glorious vids!!! ^^

[@onlyplants]

My pleasure ❤️

[@Dennis-Belev]

Such a privilege to be there, and to be walked by the legend-master of botanical art! 🌱 Amazing video thank you for sharing those beauties with us that’s definitely once in a lifetime experience!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️❤️😀

[@alfantoutanaya2832]

Man...I can literally move one step and talk with him for hours, another step another hours. So many plant that I don't know about. Amazing collections Mr. Kunzo 🤯

[@onlyplants]

😀😀

[@caseykelson1]

You could have let this video be uploaded with NO editing!!! KUNZO is MAGIC!! I could watch him talk about his plants for hours!!! Thank you thank you for shoring this experience with us!!

[@IdrisFashan]

I got to end of the video and nearly cried… SO BEAUTIFUL.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 😀 I need to learn Japanese just to be able to talk to him about anything and everything!

[@onlyplants]

This place was heaven ❤️

[@onlyplants]

😀

[@sharpestdart]

What a lovely human being he is, Sean. Thank you for sharing this video. Without you, many of us probably would never even have heard of Mr Kunzo. He reminds me of my father, showing off his garden when I visit him 😂

[@onlyplants]

Its an honor to be able to share his story 😀

[@Grahamcracker6366]

Yes! I’ve been waiting on this one. I’m an American living in South Korea. I’ve been following you both for a few years.

[@onlyplants]

Thats so cool! Would love to visit South Korea for plant adventures!

[@Grahamcracker6366]

@@onlyplantsJoinfolia has nice greenhouses here. I haven’t seen anything here that compares to this!

[@nackedgrils9302]

Thanks for sharing this tour with us Sean! I'm newly a greenhouse builder (but also horticulturist) and I've never seen such densely packed greenhouses as Kunzo-san's! The selection is a lot wider than I would have expected, I love that it's not only ''big hype'' aroids like you see in most new nurseries, these are truly plants that he enjoys and that he wants to keep in circulation. The man even has 30 different P. verrucosum varieties, amazing! People in Asia are very fortunate to be able to grow all of these plants beautifully, I live in Canada and the winter is so cold here that a lot of companies close their greenhouses for a few months because it's too expensive to heat! So we can't keep such extensive collections alive all year-long.

[@onlyplants]

Wow thats a cool path you chose. 😀😀

[@robinhavens695]

AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for sharing 💚🪴💚

[@onlyplants]

[@GraceMed]

Wow, this was fantastic! Mr Kunzo was fascinating and funny, but wow, those plants!!!!

[@nancymurphy9054]

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. He’s quite the jokester in person 😀

[@ncscborderhag9946]

So love your videos. What a wonderful man. I've learned so much from your videos. This is one of my favorites.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 😀❤️

[@tommanning5894]

This was next-level. Incredible video, Sean. What an amazing collection Mr Kunzo has - seeing it first-hand must have been quite something. I look forward to the next two in the series!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️

[@nikitakrivosheev8458]

I enjoyed the video and the gentleman featured in it. He has a beautiful greenhouse filled with stunning and rare plants. The Japanese are masters at managing space and turning everything into a work of art. I believe that, in addition to the plants, the greenhouse itself has a certain charm. Even the small details, like the metal steps with holes and the plastic tags with attached paper for labeling the plants, have their own appeal

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@subashbhimani1291]

Very careful and cleverly select rare variety of plants. Amazing collection. This is my best video on plants I have seen so far.

[@vkodhai]

This was incredible to watch, seeing such a master at his craft - thanks for taking us along with you! I've been a silent watcher for a while, but just wanted to say I love your content, and I've been especially enjoying these recent videos you've been doing, like the series with Pak Chandra and now this one with Kunzo - I love that it's almost a bit of an interview and that we get to hear these living legends tell stories about their plants and their journey into this world. It's honestly so fascinating, so thank you for doing what you do!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you for these words. It empowers me to do more ❤️

[@cascadianroots]

Thank you 🙏🏽❤️

[@Gee-xb7rt]

Bromeliads are such nice plants, don't know why they aren't more popular. The Aechmea orlandiana he showed comes in many different colorways, from white to black.

[@onlyplants]

I think so too! But I feel their care is often misunderstood and they might not do so well in a persons living room etc…

[@finjatortl]

WOW that Draceana Reflexa Marvelous is so pretty!!!

[@onlyplants]

Interesting questions 😀

Love you videos, and this one is one of my favorites now! I’m just curious…was your family from Japan? Your sister speaks perfect Japanese. I’m Japanese but live in US now. Someday I want to visit Mr. Nishihata’s “Dream Garden” event. Thank you for the video. And I can’t wait to see next one!

[@onlyplants]

My sister is permanent resident in Japan. Her work is professional Japanese to English translator 😀

[@naomibus9039]

That’s great, you have a family to visit in Japan. I wish I have family in Indonesia!

[@ksliang6072]

+Glad you asked this qn as I was wondering the same. Sean and his sis look Japanese and since she spoke fluent Japanese too I was wondering if they have some Japanese ancestry or background. This documentation is premium content, Sean should feature it as the header video in his channel. What a coup to have access to a global treasure!

[@AA-xd9fg]

LIVING LEGEND! Even Supreme had collab with him lol

[@onlyplants]

Yeah. And an amazing human being
