Bonsai Harmony on Youtube!

Hey everyone, if you haven’t seen yet, I have started a YouTube channel where you can follow along with work that I perform at Kouka-en. Videos will typically be shot over the shoulder or close up and you can follow along as if you were here studying along with me. As Oyakata says “見て覚えって! – look learn!”. I’ll be providing voiceovers as I think this is best for the way things are set up in the garden. The information will be as concise and possible without straying too far from the work on screen.

I started doing videos to help myself coalesce information that I have learned at my time here in Japan and I hope it will be valuable to you as well. There’s a lot to be said about every little task in bonsai, and I could always drone on until it’s all stated. However I’ll be doing my best to keep the videos around ten minutes so you can get back to your own trees.

My second video is out today covering pine pad design. We stripped down a black pine for maintenance and you can see every structural detail of how they are grown in Japan and how you can wire a pad to be look great and last.I

Please let me know if you have any feedback, requests or suggestions so I can improve the content as much as possible.

Thank you, I hope you enjoy! The link can be found below.
