Never watched Pawn Stars or even entered a pawnshop (no reason!), so I'll have to take your word for it. Does watching the film, "The Pawnbroker" (starring the immortal Rod Steiger) count? Here's a film clip: ua-cam.com/video/5clBF38sqqw/v-deo.html
Once you start to learn the basics of Bonsai, you start to understand just why a tree like this costs $200k, the amount of man-hours, knowledge and skilled hands that have worked on it adds to the value, it's like a priceless art piece that has been continually added to by each caretaker every year.
My whole family can do it literally my nephew is 4 and he can do it we all do it as a family it’s literally so easy- some times I feel like where tricking people it’s sad
@@robloxgacha9177 it's not about how easy or hard it is. it's about the effort, time and care that generations of extraordinarily skilled people put into it for centuries, that make the price of these bonsai. they are also all unique, but of course that is also the case for the cheap ones. you can have a bonsai from 10 bucks upwards at walmart. there's nobody being tricked that just wants to have a nice little tree in a pot. but people that are willing to pay big money are usually the ones that know the criteria that make a pricey bonsai worth it's price..
i think it's more like a thing between friends rather than anything that is mentioned. Like "lol look at my video i made, you called me while i was recording it" And that friend will always be a part of his youtube video.
If this beautiful tree could only hear the music used in this video it would surely weep tears of anguish. P. S. Although I commented on this video over two years ago I have no memory at all of doing so. Maybe I should be a bit worried?
These people commenting doesnt know how many generations/years pass, in order to create such piece. The price is kinda bargain if you think about the time and effort of people before him to create such art.
no, its actually not worth the price. if you ever research bonsai... you can realize that the price is actually paid by NON-bonsai enthusiasts who don't actually know anything about bonsai. i think people in the youtube-verse need to do more research... outside of youtube.... go to your local bonsai society.
The only reason it does not cost more is because it isn't demanding in resources and can be done concurrently with other projects. Still, the sheer amount of effort that is put into each one of those is something to behold.
UA-cam: Do you want to see a guy work on a bonsai that costs about as much as a house Me panicking inside: whatever you do Don’t f up on a bonsai with this price tag you’ll only need to mess up once before you back to square one and or gone
@@BillWalters-kx8sw san means mr or sir. So Mr. Miyagi would have been called Miyagi-san in Japan. It also adds a bit of formality while talking to someone
Although it is 90% of the time that music is distracting for the video (even I make that mistake) this was unbearable. I know I can mute audio but, man, use something softer. Anyhow the bonsai trees are phenomenal. Your work is also fantastic on them.
Another difference is it only takes a short while to manufacture a Lamborghini, but a tree like this takes years and years and years of work and constant care.
5:00 The music at the end makes me imagine the tree walking toward the camera in slow motion while flicking a lit cigarette onto a trail of gasoline with a ball of flame in the background.
*Goes back to youtube homepage* God finally I can go to sleep and end my odd video streak. Wait a second what... Wha... $200K Bonsai tree?! No way this I GOTTA see!
@@imjustaguy4340 Not only sunlight (which would be provided next to a window) but also the change of temperature throughout the seasons. Unless you want to get your house down to 0°C during winter so that you can keep a Juniper alive inside, you'll have to choose a different plant.
K. Looking at a tree like this, after looking at a lot of different channels and having admired Bonsai for a while, I can absolutely start to appreciate the reasons a tree is valued like this. And the work you did for it is amazing. It's gorgeous.
If you don't respect don't expect, it's simple... professional Bonsai scissors run at 25000 USD and the tree alone takes 24 hour care from a trained master.. It's an art not known to most if only a select few
Nice tree but that music sounds like your training for a shit rap battle and you get beat up at the end for having such shit music to train to in the first place.
20 or so years ago a common juniper bush was planted outside my kitchen window and it has had a slow steady growth. I have had an interest in bonsi but I have never attempted to create a tree. As I looked at this great video I thought about what it would look like if this thick juniper that is about 4 inches in diameter but only about 2 foot or less tall. I will take a picture and send it to you. I probably should wait until deep winter before digging it up in order to not kill it.
I'd honestly recommend spending a few years practicing with less special trees first, to build up some skills before going all in on something so old. Also, if you re-pot it you have to wait at least a year before putting too much stress on it, the stress of re-potting alone, if it spent it's whole life in the ground, is pretty shocking to the plant for a good long while. You may also consider potting it in a very large pot at first, and then year by year reducing the pot a little bit until it is the ideal size. Some people just go straight for it, but a tree that is over 20 years old is special. I'd go and buy a dozen or so trees of the same species to practice on.
I cant believe how risky they are with moving it. If the guy at 6:06 who has his WHOLE BODY within the nook of the tree slipped or moved up too quickly he could snap the main trunk...
This tree is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The balance between the deadwood and the live tree as well as the movement are just unbeleivable. I totally agree that the price tag on this is on point.
I think it's worth easily $500,000 in my opinion. Too much time, attention to detail, and most importantly human life hours put into it for it not to be.
Most bonsai take decades to grow which is usually why it’s worth so much. Bonsai also takes a lot of patience. You don’t see the results of an idea until a few years later
Firstly anyone saying that that's a crazy price for a Bonsai clearly don't realize it's a literally living art piece. That takes over a decade to make. It can live forever if maintained. Normal art pieces be out of canvases for instance can go for 2 million and it only took 1 month to make or one day. Those can't compare to living art such as this. So 200k is a bargain for this grandiose beauty.
The Art of Bonsai predates Japan, going back to China. It's an ART FORM, like paintings, sculptures or any other artistic expression. Considering that many of these high end Trees are several hundred years old, maintained and trained all that time, cost is going to be there.
@@borbing8705 Good choice! It's an easygoing tree. Just make sure the soil doesn't dry out, they really don't like that. Watering every day or at least 2 days during spring and summer and every other day during autumn and winter. They like to be outside as long it's not colder than 8°c. They really like sunlight, no halfshade (that's why the need water so often) As for pruning, you probably want to tackle that late autumn. You could start wiring it now but it's easier doing that together with pruning in autumn.
Supply and demand? When I was about 11 or 12 my neighbor who cared for a collection taught me to care for them so she could do things like go away for a weekend, or a week. Most of the tree's were well over a couple hundred years old. They need at least every other day watering, monitoring, location change due to weather. And much more than casual knowledge or something that can be learned from reading a couple books. They are a lifetime commitment or they will be a worthless shrub, or dead one, in no time.
Mate, if this bonsai costs 200K, how much cost the maintenance of it?, is a big honor put your hand in a beauty like that, but also there is a big responsibility too involved. There is any kind of insurance for those kind tress? Excellent job man.
i really appreciate the effort that goes into something like this. much more impressive than a nice car or a house. this shit takes several peoples dedications over several generations. truly amazing
I was waiting for him to say "oops". But that would be mean spirited. One day I may get into bonsai. I have a small lemon sapling that I may have plans for.
As a bit of gentle criticism for future videos , why not use traditional Japanese music instead of what your using now . The video could be much more relaxing
the amount of hate these ppl has against bonsai astonish me . if you dont appreciate their hard work just stick to watching your dumb tik tok video . why bother spewing venom on such a great art
many time i see this vidio,but im never pay attention the people comment's,yes im right, a lot of stupid comment here,they dont understand about the art of the bonsai
The drastic improvement of music from your earlier videos, gives the magnificence of this tree a run for it's money 😉. Very impressive! (The tree and music improvement alike)
