    Damm, there is here so much information that I think I have to return to this video I a few days. Just to try to absorve everything. Thanks Ryan for this education!

    Hey! First time seeing your channel, maybe 4 months into bonsai. Two minutes in and mind blown. Preservation vs. transformation. Lots of ways to apply that when I’m with my trees. Looking forward to exploring more of your channel. Thank you!

    That tree has some amazing dead wood trunk. I have a large juniper I’m looking forward to wiring and styling it next year

    this was fascinating, I don't do bonsai, but I am/ or have done a lot of visual art - painting, drawing, print making, illustration and what I love is the intricate discussions and considerations about what next move to make. it's exactly like every other art form, but so impossible to change, so pretty high stakes. I love the discussion around the spirit of the tree from John Naka to you to the next person, it's really very beautiful that these trees pass from person to person, care giver and shaper to the next one. like favourite songs - I once sang with someone and one night they asked me to give them a kiss on their cheek - I was very young and they were very old - and they said' because that's where billy (holiday) used to kiss me and you sang good tonight.' six degrees...

    I’m only 24 mins into the video, and my first thought is a notion that I learned that a bonsai should look aesthetically appealing from all angels, not just the front. The new front you’re considering looks amazing! Maybe even better than the original. The flow and wave like motion is spectacular and I think John Naka would approve. Using that new front would still preserve the original front and would make the tree that much more epic and beautiful.

    Wow, I never even considered the angle from the corner of the pot. I'm really glad you did that Ryan. Sometimes we can get so set in our ways, that was so refreshing and motivating.

    It took a lot of guts to make these changes on this iconic tree, but it does lead to a far more interesting tree. Congratulations on both your guts and vision!

    The position at 23:3 suggests an upright dragon with two fron legs out and a neck in deadwood. I like the design great, but anytime you can see a dragon you have to consider if on.y for a moment.

    Additionally, since you removed a sizable portion from the upper left canopy, you could remove a sizable portion from the lower right deadwood base (removing the right side of trident deadwood) to create more negative space and balance the base, thus harmonizing the negative space (Ma). Doing so would enhance the swirling deadwood on the right side of the trunk. Cheers!

    Did I see that tree and John Naka at the Huntington Library in the early 90s. I know/remember seeing it in techniques II, but I think again in Pasadena bonsai show. I am not worthy of commenting on a Naka tree. After 40 years, I am still a noob.

    Ryan : we need to respect that this is a historical tree.
    Also Ryan : lets see how it looks if i i plant the apex in the soil.

      Did you not listen to the part where Ryan got his inspiration from Mr Kimura's alteration of historical trees, or are you just being a dick? Also, pay attention when you're in school on the use of capital letters, punctuation and unnecessary duplication of the letter i. It'll make your comments easier to read.
