Bonsai art - Advanced Bonsai demo

Bonsai is the art of cultivating certain trees and shrubs in small, shallow pots.
Through careful and precise training and pruning, the plant is gradually shaped and sculpted to give the appearance of an older, mature tree.
In this video, Bonsai professional - Bjorn Bjorholm and his partner demonstrate how to design a bonsai on a Pinus sylvestris (Yamadori) which was collected in the Spanish mountain.
Training a growing tree into a desired shape over several years takes calm patience, precise, deliberate action, and careful consideration of every detail.
The golden age of Japanese Bonsai was around the 17th century when Buddhist philosophy was seen as an interesting subject of painting, sculpture, and poetry.
Initially, Japanese bonsai pots were just natural plants that were brought back to be planted in pots. Later on, small trees or even branches are used to grow.
The technique of bending trees with steel wire and other materials is also applied. Thanks to that, it helps to continuously improve to create a unique shape for the bonsai tree.
Taking care of and admiring Bonsai will bring you moments of relaxation. Your soul is comforted as a result, and you begin to enjoy nature, people, and your own life more.
By physically looking deeper into nature when cultivating Bonsai, you can improve the way you see not only trees but also all other natural forms.
