Michael and Kaya, it was a great pleasure meeting you at Kouka-en. Thank you very much for allowing us to enter the garden and admire the trees. It was an unforgettable experience. Your hospitality was as memorable as the trees you care for. Best of wishes for you guys from Margate, Florida.

If I could relive my life, I would probably look into this if I'd known it had existed! What a really nice video.

I really admire these enthusiasts……the level of dedication to the art…..and let’s face it - you would have had to learn Japanese before stepping foot in the bonsai garden.

This is fantastic to watch and I really enjoy the different perspective this gives from the American bonsai content I've gotten used to. Your film making skills have gone to a whole new level. Exceptional mate, well done! Observing the two environments(American and Japanese Bonsai), Japanese Bonsai seems like the strict dedication to their methodology will keep on producing high quality trees, but it looks like there's a stubbornness in Japanese culture in general to consider anything outside of the norm and does feel like it will inevitably stunt the natural progression of Bonsai as it has done in other areas. In the Japanese tech and automotive industries, they used to be the world leaders in the 80's and early 90's, but have fallen behind other nations. I'm just wondering if there's a correlation between that strict corporate culture and some of the crafts like bonsai, and the way their apprenticeships are presented. It almost seems religious at times with no room for individual expression or new schools of thought.

What a great insight in to the life of a bonsai apprentice, thank you for sharing Bjorn. At 11:30 in your video, Kaya is using a watering lance that produces the finest jets of water I have ever seen, almost like steam. Do you know what the make or brand the lance is please?

You are a guest in another country, so do as the romans do. So true Unless you come to the US. If you do that, make sure everyone there conforms to you. And we will, dont worry. Because that’s the American way (nowadays at least)
