A Wild Tree (Yamadori) Becomes a Bonsai

Collected trees (yamadori in Japanese) often possess qualities that are almost impossible to recreate by hand. This is usually due to the harsh conditions they have endured over long periods of time.

In this video I create a bonsai from a 70+ year old collected Sabina Juniper, doing my best to enhance the natural characteristics of the tree without losing the wild magic within.

I’m truly grateful for the response to the videos I’ve uploaded so far, and I’m working as fast as I can to keep producing them. Thank you for the patience and support. I am of course limited by nature and the seasons (and a bit of perfectionism too) but rest assured there are plenty more on the way.
