Жыл бұрын

Collected trees (yamadori in Japanese) often possess qualities that are almost impossible to recreate by hand. This is usually due to the harsh conditions they have endured over long periods of time.
In this video I create a bonsai from a 70+ year old collected Sabina Juniper, doing my best to enhance the natural characteristics of the tree without losing the wild magic within.

gotta drop a comment and say how much i love the stop-motion portions showing the repositioning of the branches. if there were just a before and after, it would feel too obscure to understand how the end result was achieved. seeing the process of first repositioning the larger branches, then the smaller ones, and then trimming the excess growth, bit by bit, it gives more insight into your thought process and makes me feel like make i too can make a bonsai one day! 💜

@@BonsaiReleaf It's difficult! The thing you're aspiring from is often so removed from the place you start, and the results of your actions so delayed from when you take them, that it feels impossible to "show somebody bonsai." You do a great job showing the journey in a short enough time for somebody to grasp the big picture without skipping important steps. And just as importantly I think you make the whole process look as gratifying as it feels!

Amazing how you find such beauty by removing what to my eye look to be random branches and twigs. Also: would love to see an update on your previous projects. If you create something so amazing out of barely maintained plants, I'd love to see what happens when these plants spend six months or more in your care

the stop motion time lapse showing the branch setting is second to none. also love the wholesome moment of your son placing the last bit of moss on

Definitely the positioning of the moss by the little dude takes this tree to a whole new level! Wow, what a masterpiece. Well done, and well put together video.

from the before to the after it literally looks like the tree ages backwards from a contorted elderly man, to a young and graceful dancer. it looks so alive and vibrant, it appears as if its literally giving a bow or curtsy. truly captivating flow and energy, its so so beautiful to look at. youre an incredible artist man thank you for sharing

Your videos are like symphonies, man. So textured and nuanced. About so much more than just the subject. The story you tell with every video is undeniably rich and spiritual. Glad I ran into your channel.

Always love it when you upload a video, never disappointed! Beautiful work on this one Mate and from the Little Helper too. I'm blown away that it's already 70+ years old too! As always, thank you much for a relaxing and tranquil watch.

Interesting to see you making it look less destroyed by destroying it further lol. It's like when a kid knows they made a mistake and try to cover it up by making it worse. I mean it is very artistic though.

Just like less being more with bonsai, this channel has the best videos despite being very few in number - I am amazed at how you remove branches yet seem to have more at then end than you have to begin with - where does the lower branch and all the ramification come from. This is genius.
