Yeah, it’s a different concept than the “I want to be the only person that’s ever touched this tree, or else it ain’t mine” attitude.I watched that video several days ago. What I find so interesting is when she says she starts the material to pass it on to the next generation to continue it on. That's truly a passion to prepare something today to leave it for the next generation.
Well done, even though i may never finish, i still prefer to create my own Bonsai, but i must admit that it is much more rewarding working with Yamadori. Appreciate her point that the result must face scrutiny in order to hold value! Also appreciate the opportunity to work on previous generations material. She is very correct on the scarcity of excellent material!Good video!

Anyone pick on the fact she's a SHE...I don't know how common that is in Japan. Bonsai there is pretty much a man's thing...Good for her.4th generation....amazing. I have a hard time getting my kids to water or weed them.
I was thinking in a similar fashion but did not speak because I wasn't really certain. Makes her all the more credible.Anyone pick on the fact she's a SHE...I don't know how common that is in Japan. Bonsai there is pretty much a man's thing...Good for her.
Anthony, go back and re-read this thread. Compare your comments to all the others.Folks,
seriously, don't fall for another scam.
Bonsai are mostly worth what you are willing to pay for it.
As more and more folk master trunk thickening, reality will
set in.
The problem is when you perceive yourself to be old.
Good Day

Now... can you see why so many people consider you to be a troll??? Your wealth envy is obvious. And unattractive. The irony is, any of us can create “bonsai wealth” by carefully tending our trees over the long term.
And while the title of the video says “expensive”, which implies value in terms of money, the theme of the video speaks to the time and effort, manhours, that go into the creation and maintenance of bonsai over years and decades. Consistently applied manhours. Because as we all know neglecting a bonsai for even a short period can ruin or even kill it.
Antiques? Then you know about how age and rarity affects price.This is a set-up Topic.
My caution is - save your money,
Take classes in pottery. Grow from seed/seedling / cuttting.
Learn trunk fattening.
Figure out simple soils.
Remember Sifu [ Adair ] I also used to deal in Antiques
back in the 1990's.
Try not to get scammed.
