WABI SABI | THE ART OF BONSAI
Kunio Kobayashi, world-famous’ Bonsai master talks about art of Bonsai in this video.At the age of 28 he dedicated his life to Bonsai and gained the required skills due to self-study. Growing up in a nursery he already was familiar with the beauty of plants and nature, but one encounter set him off his determined path in life. During an exhibition he spotted a Japanese white pine formed as a Bonsai tree. Fascinated by its elegant shape showing life´s dignity, the young Kobayashi decided immediately to start creating such graceful trees himself. “Bonsai is art” and can be described with the three words of individuality , harmony and elegance. It takes years of learning and practice to become a professional Bonsai master. From creating very clear and beautiful Bonsai trees, he changed his style after 50 years to show several aspects of the tree which you have never seen before. “Aji no aru (味のある) Bonsai”, a Bonsai tree transmitting depth and graze. With this new form you directly feel the Japanese culture of wabi-sabi 詫び寂び, the quiet simplicity and subdued refinement.

A bonsai samurai
Went to mans house in the states who’s back yard looked just like his. I was dating a girl who was writing a paper about Bonsai and we went there to interview him. I walked around his garden completely enchanted.
Say it like this, I am Bonsai, I am suffering.

@@BigChief1529 I asked the meaning of bonsai, it means to suffer literally so it prays for rain twice and it should look sack cloth and ash, it should look as though it is too small to survive, too weak to grow up and too bent out of shape ever to look like a fist at the sky but a fist coming to greet you, ugly, from the ground, not worth reproach for eternity, that BigChief1529 is BONSAI. Imagine you are big toe in sock cut from thumb and in time you to will be BONSAI.

Living a simple life, accepting and appreciating the imperfections of oneself and, above all, of the world around us. A Japanese aesthetic and spiritual concept deeply rooted in Japanese culture, might be described. The most difficult part of the wabi-sabi concept is not only to apply it, but also to explain it. The difference is subtle, but it clearly demonstrates that, once again, Japanese concepts are lived and experienced more than they are explained, like ikigai, the quest for a happy, balanced life.

Let me say it like this, I am found either perfect or imperfect, I am made to suffer, in Bonsai there is to translate, no reward, to have suffered, life on bones, the ember meets the ray of sunlight, to humiliate, to rain twice though, 😢deny, lose and in the end, it accepts being ogled, Bonsai.
