🌳The Art of Earth Meets the Waves of the Ocean🌊 Bonsai is an art form that merges time, nature, and aestheticism. For centuries, bonsai masters honed their craft, working in harmony with each trees to create living sculptures. In my 9 years of living in Tokyo, I’ve barely seen bonsais out and about. And what better setting to have them aboard a luxurious cruise ship, where the rhythm of the ocean amplify the tranquility of each piece. I’m excited to announce a unique collaboration with Adrien Pichon from Bonsai Collectors and Oliviero Morelli and Luca De Pasquale from MSC Cruises Japan to make this happen. Together, we’re bringing two forces of nature—bonsai and the sea—into one unforgettable experience aboard Asia’s best cruise ship. 🌱Bonsai Onboard: A One-Day Exclusive Event on MSC Bellissima 🗓️October 2nd, 2024 12:00~ 🎟️ 3,000 yen (only a limited number of tickets) Join us for a day where bonsai meets the open sea, learning about the art, and a palatable experience of food and drinks. Throwback to when I toured inside Bellissima:

Everyone knows what a bonsai is. But do you, really? Whenever I mention "bonsai", people often nod knowingly. But do they truly understand? Bonsai Collectors specializes in extraordinary living masterpieces. These aren't your typical house plants. Bonsai as Living Art: Bonsai are more than just miniature trees. They represent a unique combination of horticulture, creativity, and patience, resulting in breathtaking living works of art that can be enjoyed for generations. Passion & Expertise: Each tree needs unique expert care and attention. Extraordinary bonsai are the result of decades of skillful pruning, treatments, and shaping by Masters. They reach their prime because they thrive in perfect health conditions. The Beauty and Value of Bonsai: These living masterpieces are not only great art investment opportunities but also promote aesthetic and cultural significance. Enjoy the beauty!

Adam and I will be the main guests for Bonsai Culture Expo in Paris, Oct 26-27 Oct. Let's take that opportunity to introduce my friend and partner with a VERY nice video. Many thanks to Jean-Yves LAMUSSET for the highlight !!

Bonsai trees can be very expensive. The time and expertise required are immense. Years of care and skill go into each tree. Bonsai cultivation is not just gardening; it's an art form. The process involves daily watering, frequent pruning, wiring, and repotting. This dedication over decades, sometimes centuries, adds to the cost. Artists spend years perfecting their techniques. They create miniature representations of nature. The shape, proportion, and harmony of a bonsai tree make it a living piece of art. Exceptional specimens are priceless. Older bonsai trees are particularly valuable. Trees that have thrived for centuries have accumulated history. Their age gives them unique features like gnarled bark and mature branches. These characteristics can't be rushed. Certain species' varieties are harder to cultivate. Some are naturally scarce, increasing their value. The market for high-end bonsai is niche. Demand often outstrips the limited supply of exceptional trees. Maintaining a bonsai is costly. Specialized soil mixes, high-quality pots, and tools add to the expense. The pots themselves can be works of art. Reputation matters. Trees cultivated by renowned bonsai masters or those with notable histories can command premium prices. In essence, the high cost of bonsai reflects time, skill, artistry, and resources. For enthusiasts and collectors, the value lies not just in the tree but in the centuries of tradition and unique beauty it represents. Takeaways? - Bonsai trees are a long-term commitment. - They are living art forms. - Age and rarity add significant value. - Specialized care and materials are essential. - Reputation and history can increase prices.
