Would definitely love to see more of these. Films could be done on a particular bonsai artist, or a look at a particular style of bonsai, for example. Even as a previous commenter mention, a film on tool making would be great. Would love to see 30 min. films too. 20 mins just didn't seem long enough.
I love hearing the stories of Japanese artisans who are the descendants of Japanese artisans. In a world that's always changing, it's comforting to know that there are still people practicing and preserving ancestral knowledge from generations past.
I absolutely love how this video shows different peoples and families' techniques used for creating the work. Beautifully encapsulates the care and attention put into each piece.
I love that All these people were Masters in their Craft, 35 40 years do what they do, they made it look so easy, even though it took so many years to perfect, beautiful bonsai pottery each one, I especially like the footings
I loved this video. The Clay Masters are wonderful and I enjoyed listening to them explain their process. I'm amazed at the time you spent in your explanation. You clearly have a love of this subject and much respect for the Clay Masters. Thank you.
Very educational film on the work - and craftsmanship - that goes in to making Bonsai pots. I will no longer look at my 'pots' as *just* pots. Thank you for such an informative film. I'm returning to give time to the Bonsai I've had a number of years but had to plant in to containers due to other life commitments, just happened across your film and have now subscribed.
The way this craftsmanship has been passed over by father to son, the dignity and respect for the material and the techniques is truly unique. In the west there used to be the same mindset, but not anymore. Work ethics and morale is always a result of a pristine product and tokoname is not exception. Great vid.
I agree, I recently found out my whole family was filled with potters/brick layers till my father became a mechanic. Even though ive been doing it for over two years he never mentioned this to me once because he told me he had no respect for those sorts of craftsmanships.
These are not only beautiful pots but also beautiful people. I don’t need to speak a single word japanese to realize how wise and calm all those artists are.
Ein wirklich schönes Video. Handarbeit mit langer Tradition und von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben. Mal ein ehrliches Danke für diesen Beitrag und Einblick in die Herstellung.
Oscar, I really loved this video. One can really see the artistry, the craftmanship, love and respect you put in this video. Yes please! More of this kind of videos! Your other videos are beautifull and I always look forward to see them but whit this you reached another level! Thank you. Regards from Sweden.
It is perfect. Thanks for bringing this to us. It is pretty much fascinating to see the people of Japan being devoted to their works with such a dedication 🙏
Excellent documentary! Realy good work quys and thanks for this video. I'm simply fascinated about masters respect for the clay for the whole process of making the pot and their techniques. More vids like that guys.
Thank you for that fantastic documentary! Makes me understand why some pots are more expensive. After watching we should all know, that these are worth it. I love the passion! :)
The chinese and japanese documents are just always so great, the product, the passion and the precision are breathtaking. How do they do it? I’m amazed.
Awesome video. I love seeing the kind of amazing craftsmanship that goes into something like making pottery. I had no idea how involved the process was.
WOW!!!! . . . Such an amazing and very interesting video. Each and every bonsai video I watch just makes my heart grow fonder. I've been dedicated to bonsai for many years, yet I've still so much to learn.
Many thanks for a great video. I hope that one day I would be afforded the opportunity to be able to travel to shops like this. It would be a privilege and honour to meet and talk to real craftsman like those in Your video.
I wish i could do something like that as a living, my dream it's to live as an artist :D making beautiful and carefully made stuff for people to admire
I love, admire and respect craftsman so much. Despite their skill, changing times always threaten their livelihood through ups and downs. I hope that as people become wealthier they will return to our love of finely made goods, goods made with love and pride. When I see a craftsman put his mark on his work, that tells me everything about why I love manmade things. Why would a robot put a stamp on its work? No need. No identity.
This calming and besutoful video has helped me during a very stressful and heart breaking day. The dedication to the craft of these talented individuals is phenomenal and the video is amazingly edited.
beautiful documentary!!! i'd love to see more content like this. i'm also very intrigued by how this art was passed down through fathers. i wonder if these men were able to pass their skills down to their children? also curious about daughters. :)
Lovely video. It would be nice to have more detail. More on the clay and where it s harvested. More about the glazes. Do you do slip casting? Thank you for expanding on your channel .
We really love to hear your opinion on this film! Should we do more? On what topics? Let us know!
Great production and insight on their processes. Make one on bonsai tools! Even one on biogold would be interesting =D

Bonsai display stands would be cool too. Great video!
I would like to see another video, about tea ceramics.
Just brilliant, as below, more detail on the extensive knowledge base would be fascinating.
Fantastic, I cannot imagine the amount of dedication and time that went into making this video for us!
Thanks Nigel! It was quite a big undertaking :-)

Fascinating. Excellent production too.
Thanks Mark, really appreciate it!
I have watched the video many many times, and I enjoy it as if it were the first day. ❤
It is a fantastic video.
Thank you very much.
Wow, thank you!!
Fascinating insight into bonsai pot creation. My appreciation grows as to how important they are in the overall bonsai artist’s composition.
I love that All these people were Masters in their Craft, 35 40 years do what they do, they made it look so easy, even though it took so many years to perfect, beautiful bonsai pottery each one, I especially like the footings
WOW! Such an amazing documentary. I love that workshop. So much character. Good soundtrack and filming.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Please do more of this awesome content, it is literally a grounding experience.
I loved this video. The Clay Masters are wonderful and I enjoyed listening to them explain their process. I'm amazed at the time you spent in your explanation. You clearly have a love of this subject and much respect for the Clay Masters. Thank you.
I like everything that is hand made, from pottery to musical instruments, tools, art, toys, furniture, buildings, machines, weapons, etc.
Agree except weapons

Such beautiful workmanship.
Brilliant video. Masters at work.

Oh my god. This video is really great... thank you very much.
What a beautiful video. We owe a lot to the those potters. And to those that came before them.
These are not only beautiful pots but also beautiful people. I don’t need to speak a single word japanese to realize how wise and calm all those artists are.
Favorite channel .💚💙💜
For some reason I really like these unglazed, basic looking pots. Something about the shape.
The best documentary/film i’ve seen so far keep the good work up!
Absolutely amazing work Bonsai Empire
Ein wirklich schönes Video. Handarbeit mit langer Tradition und von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben. Mal ein ehrliches Danke für diesen Beitrag und Einblick in die Herstellung.
I really love when a video is produced with such charm and is also educational and insightful.

Amazing. I watched it twice in a row. It is so relaxing watching them creating such masterpieces. So inspirational.

@@bonsaiempire do you know if there is any book about Tokoname pot tradition and history you reccomend? Thanks!
Beautiful! The dedication & precise work that goes into making the pots is mind blowing. Your video production was spot on 👍
Thank you so much 😀
脂の乗り切った常滑の盆栽作家の皆さんが、最高の技を披露されていて見ごたえがあります。私も少しですが鉢づくりを始めています。土の柔らかさを作業に適した状態にできる見込みもなく行き当たりばったりですので、到底皆さんの技を参考にするところまでは行きませんが、めざす方向を示していただきました。ありがとうございます。

Thanks a lot Claudio!
Very very good my friend!! Excellent video and production! Perfect! Thanks !
the finished pots with the bonsais in them were so beautiful that I cried
Such dedication to their craft. Thank you.
It is one of my favorite things: to watch a professional make something difficult look effortless.
So nice, that so many old handcrafts are kept alive in Japan.
Man, i don´t know why such a amazing video can have dislikes. But it doesn´t matter, it is really an artwork. Greetings from Chile.

Mooie video weer, Oscar! Erg interessant! :)
Before this video I was thinking that bonsai pots are expensive. Now, after watching it, I no longer think that. I'll happily pay the money.
Awesome!
What a lovely video. Does anyone know what the music during the glazing segment is?
