    Since my retirement in February, 2022 (at age 70 - mandated by law) your passion for Bonsai and lucid instruction have opened a new platform for experiencing beauty; this video on the Japanese aesthetic layers the joyful epiphany. Many, many thanks and blessings to you, Bjorn, and your family.

    Every video that You make expresses Your passion for the Japanese culture. It is not bonsai only and this is such a precious content for people who love to go deeper into a culture that is so distant but beautiful. Even Your voice radiates for me Your humble appreciation for the subject. Thank You 🙏

    Wow, I absolutely loved this video! As someone who has always been fascinated by bonsai art, it was really interesting to learn about the influence of Japanese aesthetics on this ancient practice. The way they incorporate principles like Wabi-Sabi and Ma into their designs is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing this insightful and beautifully presented content!

    I learned a lot about Japanese art by looking at old scrolls. There are almost always people in them with the message of living in harmony with nature. In bonsai you have a relationship with your trees. You need to understand and appreciate them or your art fails. Jeannine

    Beauty is a subjective perception and once we realize that we no longer feel the need to argue perceptions.

  • @TheBonsaiGarden

    I have always understood Japanese aesthetic to be much less ostentatious and simple by comparison to much more elaborate and showy Chinese aesthetic. As as people they were historically poorer and more modest, while looking to China for their art and learning with admiration and respect.
    Great documentary. 🙏 Very much looking forward to part 2.

    I'm fascinated by Japanese aesthetics and culture. In many places tending to trees and especially flowers is still seen as effeminate activity that's beneath True Men(tm). Bleargh. It always fascinates me that somewhere else in the world beleifs may be polar opposite. I'd be very interested to read more about this aspect of Japanese culture if anyone has any recommended reading.

    This is a fabulous video, very well done. No doubt about it, Japanese bonsai has a beautiful aesthetic yet in my opinion it falls short of truly representing the age and character present in nature. I look forward to seeing a higher level of bonsai emerge, the future for the art is bright!⭐️⭐️⭐️
