I've never heard of this realm of work before. It's extremely fascinating and I can see the passion that people put into it. I'm curious how you began at such a young age, especially with the school system here in the united states. I'm very unsure of what I want to do in my life, I'm still young and about to go to college. I got into environmental science as my major, but I am still pulled by my love for art as well. This seems to combine both. I shall watch more of your videos, and thank you for this :)

Hi Bjorn, we really enjoyed the first class of your 3-year course. Kris & I are looking forward to our next visit in June. You really inspire us to dig deep and learn all that you have to offer. Regardless of what we thought we already knew, you really opened our eyes to fantastic, new possibilities in this art. Today, I have signed up for Bonsai U and can't wait to graduate from the current 3-year course in 2024. Thank you so much for this opportunity. You are a very humble, kind and personable man and a GREAT teacher. Your teacher should be proud of what he created :-) God bless you my friend! Joe Cain

Good morning, from Appalachia! It's an awesome video, Bjorn. I've some questions myself, some of which have already been asked below. I've been studying bonsai over a decade, learning on my own, learning with a club, going to expos and forums, but I'm also deep into my career as a professional designer. I want to up my game. The more I do, the more I want to do. - What are your thoughts on apprenticeships in the US? - Does Japan offer short-term intensives (months vs. years)? - With room & board, possibly food allowance covered, what were the majority of other expenses for? - For the full-term apprenticeship, what breaks did you have to visit home or travel? - How has your career with bonsai, both as apprentice & professional, affected your relationships? - Do you find life as a professional rewarding? - More questions in my head, but I'll let them stew for a few. Many Thanks!

Excellent advice. I had the good fortune to live in Japan for 1 year while serving in the military. Prior to deployment we were offered a course in "culture shock". The difference in our cultures is great and this course helped me assimilate into the Japanese culture. I cannot emphasize the advantages of learning the language. Knowing just rudimentary words and phrases and making an effort to expand your knowledge and vocabulary showed native Japanese people I was genuinely interested in their culture. I found many Japanese people wanting to "practice" their english and at the same time being very helpful with me learning Japanese. I had to laugh when you said you are 6'6" tall. I myself am 6'1" tall and felt like a giant - especially in crowds and on the subway and trains and buses. You are most correct in you stating that if you are a "normal" sized westerner you are going to feel cramped, and I dare say somewhat claustrophobic until you adjust to your new surroundings. Also one very noticeable difference in cultures is the space afforded around oneself. I suppose due to the large population Japanese tend to get closer to one another while talking and generally hanging about. This can be disconcerting to a westerner who is used to "my space". Not hard to overcome but it can be an obstacle at first. My experience in Japan was a very pleasant time in my life - one I look back on in fondness.

@noblefleet5 жыл бұрын
The Japanese apprentice practice is borderline exploitation. On the other hand, the cost of studying in an American university can be in the six figure's. You don't have to do manual work; however, what you will be paying is equivalent of hiring a manual labor that works for the universities for four years. The cost of entry is the same.

Apprenticeships are the same with blacksmithing. It comes down to if master at a craft sees the kind of dedication and potential that makes a person worthy of gaining knowledge that has taken a lifetime to obtain and refine. People want to learn to make knives, but get peeved after few days of making charcoal/brushing forgescale/cutting stock/other mundane jobs that are required..... I have to admit I was guilty of the same thing when I started.

seems like i heard him say that you can learn the basics of sweeping and cleaning toilets in the first year...
Hi bjorn , saludos desde Colombia, podrías subtitular tus vídeos??.
So do you yourself take in an apprentice at your nursery?! :)
Is it possible to become a master without travelling to Japan?
Moral of the story. Bonsai is great. Japanese culture is just totally different from America. 😂
Why are you in Japan in the first place and were your parents anywhere around?
hi Are you going to do online class
I am trying to learn bonsai by myself and with a little help from youtube. thank you
Bjorn, do you ever meet anyone in apprenticeships who don't intend to become a bonsai professional afterwards? I am approaching the end of my undergraduate education in biology while apprenticing with Dan Robinson in Seattle. I would like to take a break before pursuing my PhD in order to experience the Japanese apprentice lifestyle if that is possible without the 5 year commitment.
How much does a experienced bonsai grower make on average?
The Japanese apprentice practice is borderline exploitation. On the other hand, the cost of studying in an American university can be in the six figure's. You don't have to do manual work; however, what you will be paying is equivalent of hiring a manual labor that works for the universities for four years. The cost of entry is the same.
great video
Thank you very much for the information, I am very interested in going to Japan to study bonsai, I would like to know if there is any short course, maybe 3 months!

There is no short cut for those things forth doing right, worth doing well.
How profitable is the bonsai business? I understand that a person must have the passion for bonsai to become a professional but what is the average bonsai professional's lifestyle like if they choose to make bonsai their source of income?
I'm just going to Power threw life!
Let me go to japan to be an apprentice to learn from a teacher that is not "very verbal" at all. So I can just study and do it all myself. So what is the point of having a mr. miyagi.
i want to be a bonsai apprentice but i cant cuzz of serious health issues :(
So in other words you don't need to do an apprenticeship at all ; ) (i mean unless you need the actual certification for some reason)
Music tooo loud in between
Subtitle in spanish please!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Lots of discipline
I learn english...i learn bonsaï.
very good video
What happens is you try and create and sell Bonsai commercially without the completed apprenticeship? Are you breaking the law?

It depends on where the trees were collected. Authorities don't like when you remove trees on State property. I've wondered if credentials are needed but I can't imagine one can't get into the business without an apprenticeship.
You are cute!
I wanna be your apprentice ugh
it's like surgical residency...
Is it just me or does this guy look like Bo Burman
A ver cuando subtítulos en español....
Hey. I really like this movie. You said everything that I had hoped to hear. I'm learning Japanese so quickly and intensely as I can, to this year, and be ready to go to Japan. I think Japanese is essential if you plan to come for a long time. I want to go away for a few years. And if the practice takes about five years, it's great for me :) I want to go to Japan and work with bonsai. I hope that I can achieve it.
boiii you 6'6!!!!! i had no fucking idea holy cow
Like in the movie "The Karate Kid" the same way to learn slowly.
Hi there, have you ever done a video on going out and collecting a yamadori and the process from earth to finally potting into a Bonsai pot ? Kind regards lee
Apprenticeships are the same with blacksmithing. It comes down to if master at a craft sees the kind of dedication and potential that makes a person worthy of gaining knowledge that has taken a lifetime to obtain and refine. People want to learn to make knives, but get peeved after few days of making charcoal/brushing forgescale/cutting stock/other mundane jobs that are required..... I have to admit I was guilty of the same thing when I started.
5 years Fuck that
Can i be your bonsai apprentice😁
