Ryan Neil=Best Bonsai teacher in the western world! Ive been a part of his platform, Mirai Live, for right at 2 years now and I'm here to tell everyone, for the price, if I can afford it anyone can! He is basically giving the information away! Not to mention the way he teaches and quantifies every little aspect of the bonsai practice is unparalleled and unrivalled by any other professional in my opinion. Yes there are other amazing "traditional" professionals in the western world but Ryan in my opinion is setting and has been setting a new degree of what bonsai could be and what bonsai should be. He has the knowledge from college (not meant to rhyme lol) and the studies from Japan that mash up to give you the best of it all. Not to mention real time live Q&As every week and even a platform to show and ask questions to Ryan himself about your own personal trees. He will answer it all! Him and Peter Warren are by far my favorite professionals.
Absolutely agree. I've been growing bonsai since 1991, got into it pretty heavily (and yeah, I'm old!) IMHO Bonsai Mirai is by far the best educational tool for bonsai I've ever come across. There are so many things I've learned that I've put into practice, that I often find myself wishing I had this information years ago.
@@wmg5852 just the simple but meaningful "what are you trying to accomplish?"...that alone changed the way I look at so much. People who truly take it seriously and want to do it at the highest level need to check it out
pacific bonsai expo spoke volumes. talent and self promotion are not related. there are some very humble masters like the winners of the exp. where is Auburn Ca anyway? i like these videos too. seeing every ones trees side by side was amazing. those who entered choose the winners. truth be told. all far beyond what i can do. i applaud them all
Thank you. Ryan, for continuing to inspire and share your process, both the physical act of styling, and the philosophy behind it. There is a thoughtful and respectful attitude that is evident in your presentation. Much appreciated.
I can see how the hight of the tree of that 'secondary apex' could be reduced to play more with that cascading branch... like the tip with paper towels thanks for that.
I must comment and congratulate you on your passion and outstanding way of putting your ideas across to the listeners. The projection of your ideas and feelings you had for this tree is superb and final result is sensational.
Awesome job. As usually. I admire your passion. The tree was spectacular before and is fantastic after. You are lucky one to work with this kind of material...
Awesome video! So much compassion you show for your profession; enjoyed this whole journey with you. Can't wait to see the next one!! You're an inspiration to all bonsai enthusiast.
I name this "Laughing Dragon". The right side is clearly a snout with a wide open mouth. The Apex is the head and brow. The left side is the back of the dragon's neck, complete with vertical ridges along the spine.
I think Bonsai is highly subjective. What might look great to some maybe horrible to others? Learning the basics I think is the most important, sticking to one way of thinking is naive and ignorant IMO. I believe everyone should have some set of freedom because otherwise, Bonsai will never evolve. Can you imaging if everyone had the same haircut, each painting in a gallery was the same. I admire Bonsai artists who can vary their interpretation from classical and abstract along with natural. I can see Ryan learned the fundamentals well and is trying to place his own style with the material that he is given. Great work.
Ryan have you considered moving the lower bottom branch slightly to the right ( direction of movement) ? The thicker part of the downdrop conflicts with the general flow. Just my personal opinion. What do you think?
I agree. I was struggling with what was bothering me about the video. I love his passion for bonsai and it certainly was a great looking tree. But somehow I struggled to keep up with the shear volume of verbiage. I hope this is taken as a critique and not an insult.

Most American bonsaimasters continue with taking bonsaimaterial (yamadori) from the nature while the bonsaiidee is just protecting the nature ! I think that nature is enough under pressure !
Really ? They collect everything away until only flat land is left ? Nah.... you are complaining in the wrong place. They do not deforrest football fields of trees every minute. You should learn to focus on important targets for your criticism. Maybe it would help you to understand, if you joined a bonsai group just once for tree collection.

You should link the platform, people are too lazy to look it up.

Pretty sure he will change something in that area.
I love Ryan and his work but wow does he waffle on! He speaks like hes writing a dissertation and needs to bump up the word count 😂

@@marcrejas1634 Agreed. My ears sadly cant take many minutes of it.
I’m glad it’s not just me. He uses five words when one will do, it’s very hard to follow.
I really appreciate his intellectual and detailed explanation. I like going back and forth between him and Bjorn
He reminds me of someone trying to convince you to buy some crappy product on a shopping channel
Great Ryan, keep up your sharing.
Priceless Tree!

I think he over explains. Nice specimen but to talky in the presentation.
