Bonsai is an artform that requires years of training, and centuries of dedication. At the 2012 International bonsai Convention a tree was on sale for one hundred million yen, just under a million dollars. And many more of these trees are considered completely priceless. So what is it that makes these trees so expensive?

Some are priceless
I killed a nice one once that I bought for a couple of hundred dollars. I felt so guilty. I collect Yamadori now .
i would pee on bonsai by knowing the Price, bought it and pee on it
This video was too short.
Face😂
I could look at them all day and it would never get old
I have a bonsai, I enjoy it, I picked it up from a Japanese mentor of mine.
05:31 I need name plant pls
Japanese are some of the true artisans, dedicating most of their life to master and perfect one craft.
As an artist, I know the pain of selling the art you've made . Its priceless.
You need to live long too see the result, but its grow with you in other way, with your patiend, creativity and bravery to take a step 👴🏼
i want to buy it but i do not money
Another major factor driving the price besides age and provenance, is how well a tree follows the rules of bonsai. Like most things in Japanese culture there are meticulous rules and guidelines that have been developed in the art. Since you are making a living sculpture it is hard to find or make a tree that precisely follows all the rules, and therefore such specimens that come close are much more highly prized and valued.
This bonsai tree will never grow taller 😂😂😂
Why this is very expensive! This is for decoration only and not for furniture!
Nice❤❤❤
Who knows the song's name at the end of the video? But the real name, because Shazam doesn't find the correct. thx!
@shushan0710 watch this!❤
They are not expensive
The ultimate control freak in me loves this but isn’t it just the prettiest work of art or another form of expression about one’s environment
? Sculpture meets nature. There’s a beautiful tragedy in it. I wonder at these beauties but also can’t help feeling sad for their lack of freedom in growth.
Everything Japan is expensive
Wow, I just started collecting watches, now I want to master Bonsai growing. At 28 I went from young, to old within a few months. 👴🏼
Hope I can grow my adenioum plant into a beautiful bonsai
Bonsai trees can be quite expensive due to the meticulous care, craftsmanship, and years of cultivation required to create these miniature works of art
There’s something really nice about growing old with a tree and seeing it form and eventually outlive you.
Why these clowns didn’t ask her to show the oldest bonsai she has smh…
Being in 4th Generation one could assume she got some more then a 100 years old. And you didn’t even ask 🤡
One was 800 years old
