1000 Year Old Japanese Bonsai Tree Adventure ★ ONLY in JAPAN

- čas přidán 24. 10. 2019
- Japanese Bonsai Trees have been a part of Japanese culture for over 1000 years going back to the Heian Era. Today, we'll visit the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum 大宮盆栽美術館 in Saitama to see some amazing tree! One in particular is a 1000 year old Ezo Spruce that has a lot of personality.
What does BONSAI mean?
The word literally means TRAY PLANTING.
A tree in a tray.
But the beauty of it transcends its size. It outlives its owner. A way Japanese connect with nature.
★ About #teamtrees :
Let's plant 20 Million Trees!
(1) Just plant some trees to support or
(2) Donate to have some trees planted through the Abor Day Foundation. Info is available at teamtrees.org
This campaign has been headed by Mr Beast, a CZcams creator who has an ambitious plan to plant more trees! I'm hoping for a lot of success.

#onlyinjapan #bonsai #teamtrees - Zábava
We don't have a FUNDRAISER option in Japan but I'm trying hard to help our CZcams creator community plant 20,000,000 trees around the world and teamtrees.com #teamtrees is a great way we can do something good! (You hear that Mr Paul Logan - hehehe) I know not everyone has time to plant a tree which is why for $1 donated to the Arbor Tree Foundation = 1 tree planted! Small steps lead to bigger and bigger ones. Let's keep at it and share your own experiences with me on twitter, instagram and facebook (onlyinjapantv) and we can change the world! -John
Thanks for spreading awareness!
Thanks for the awareness and making a video of this beautiful place. I now want to own some beautiful and timeless bonsai ❤️
Nice informative video..please make one video on nikko’s edo wonderland
Been well over a month since the last vid. Hope everything is ok.
I really want to tell you this is not only in Japan, it's from China. The Japanese even didn't change his original name, Bonsai's chinese name is Pengzai, with character 盆栽.
Bonsai passed down multiple generations is a real family tree!
Well said!! LOVE IT!!! #familytree
bruhhh
I also have bonsai TREEeeEeEEEEEe
eeeeeeeee
Get out ...
Only if it has your roots 😂
The rainy footage made this more beautiful.

Every year I plant 50 to 100 black walnut trees. This year I planted about 60. 😊🌳
AWESOME!! That’s the spirit @Y-ME Farm much love from Japan ⛩
That’s really cool, just curious where you plant them, I want to plant some trees, but I’m not particularly sure where I can.
@@someclown7026 I have black walnut trees on my farm, so I get tons of nuts. I plant them on my farm, I go to metro parks and smash them into the ground, toss them out my car window. But mostly just plant them on my farm or my neighbors come and get some to plant on their farms.
Y-ME Farm that's really cool
I really appreciate your dedication towards nature
@@sayyedkumail956 Thank you. I am a farmer and rely on nature. If you take from the land you must give back.
I was so relaxed watching this one it almost put me to sleep. The rain didn't help...its just something so tranquil about bonsai and to know the story behind their beauty makes me come to love them so much more
Go watch mr beast video
You need to watch some “unintentional ASMR “ videos they have similar uploads from channels
This is a video I was waiting for a long time

MrBeast just planted 20 million trees, this video was perfect timing
I knew about it a few weeks ago :) he called it the world's biggest collab between CZcamsrs! Let's hope it does some good!! Quick note: for those asking, Japan doesn't have the Fundraiser option like the USA but the links for #teamtrees are in the description.
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN You should enable the fundraiser feature on this video as well :)

@@niklas6047 He literally said that he can't, and there's a link in the description to donate.
Talk about making hundreds of thousands just planting trees, guess money does grow on trees!!🌴💰💰
So cool. I want one of these
You will be hooked, they are addictive!
Whoa your the real what’s inside.
Im a big fan
Why, so u can cut into it with a knife and say “oH guYS The TReE haS WoOD InSIdE iT”

Imagine the stress thats on the person that takes care of the 1000 year old bonsai
Probably not too stressfull considering people hire professionals to care for these highly valued trees so the carer would know exactly how to treat it. I'd say it's more of an honor and great responsibility however it may not be all that stressfull c:
actually it's a stress-relieving hobby to make bonsai trees..
Get that bonsai tree insurance
They don’t stress but they are happy and feel relaxing taking care for magical trees...
😰
_Even_ in the rain? _Especially_ in the rain! "Trees need rain, right?" Right, John...you da man....twenty million trees _around the world._ What a beautiful New Year gift to give to everyone, everywhere.
John, what do you think about making a meet-up with as many Japan-based creators as possible, going out and planting trees?
Japan is one country that doesn’t need more trees 🌲 we’ve no lumber industry and import it because it’s cheaper than doing it ourselves. After WWII a lot of trees were replanted - that have pollen. No one used it for building and now we’ve one of the worst hay fever problems in the world in Tokyo. But I might plant one 🌱 with my wife and watch it grow over the years :) I think people just needed to be reminded that we need more trees and trees are good, out live us all.
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN thanks for the reply, it's appreciated.
I think it might be good to do something for the community though! Japan does need help in other area. My friends did a trash pick up of plastics recently. We’ve an obligation as creators to try to do more than just say BUY THIS or COME HERE, I think so your idea is excellent and I’ll talk with CZcams Japan about making something happen together :)
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN that's great!
If there's any way I can support you, please let me know!
A good example of literally appreciating the small things in life.
Since I wont be here in 50 years, imagine the life the 1000 year old tree will be able to stimulate even further into the future. That's probably why I love our California Redwoods. We must protect our trees and love them.
I need my personal Bonsai tree. So soothing and relaxing every time I look at it!
What tree do you wanna start with!?
I have a mango tree chilli tree probably someday planting some Chinese tree tea tree Bruce Lee tree bonsai tree I want one to put on my table and look at for hours
we have the same profile lol
I love the 120 year old japanese mountain maple at 5:18 😍 so beautiful!! Thank you for making it possible to see that on the other side of the world! Greetings from my bed in Germany! 😄👍
I've always loved the kind of treatment that Bonsai trees need because it also allows the owner or the caretaker to be molded and disciplined like the tree. It's like both parties can learn a lesson from the other.
True!
so beautiful... it's definitely something you GOTTA see in person. it's like being near baby Yoda or something, bonsai trees emanate this gorgeous, beautiful and wise energy.
Its weird how much I like the main channel as much as his GO channel. He puts the just as much energy into both but obviously one has more editing and planning lol.
"what makes a bonsai special"
"well... to be short - it gives off good vibes"
Quite reasonable have a nice day
On my bucket list is to visit Japan and view all the famous Bonsai Nurseries, Only problem is I probably will have a hard time going back home.
Thank you for posting John. I have bad depression and your videos bring peace and serenity to my life. I hope you know that you are doing more than just teaching us about Japan.
I'm glad you can find peace in these videos. I really am.
Why you are depressed?
@@jeeperscreepers8704 be quiet you imbecile.
Looking at the many Bonsai trees makes me feel at peace and calm. The feel makes me like I'm staring at something ancient and beautiful. An awe struck kind of feel.
So beautiful! The branches, the leaves, everything looks perfect. And the fact that it's a miniature tree makes it more lovely!
That's bonsai!
Bonsai Trees are such handsome, hearty trees. I would absolutely visit this Bonsai Museum in Omiya, Saitama, Japan. Thanks for this video and the reminder to preserve our Mother Earth by planting more trees.
I watched your videos for years, but I didn’t realize that I haven’t even subscribed to you. I’m really sorry cuz you deserve way more subs and views. I will still keep on watching your videos bcuz your voice is so relaxing. Thank you for making quality content all these years. 🤗
Love this channel! Inspires me to go see Japan for myself. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely stunning! Thanks John for your dedication to preserving our forests. Enjoy your weekend.
Beautiful example of Japanese culture! Well done Johny boy! Also, cool retro throw with that “beeper” on your jacket! 👍🏻👍🏻😉😁
I've loved bonsai trees and was fascinated by them ever since I was little when I saw one on a children's television show. It was so magical seeing all those old bonsai trees displaying their unique charm and beauty in this museum. The pouring rain may not have been ideal for filming, but it added such serene and natural effect, along with the soft background music, it gave the entire presentation a zen-like ambiance. This was a really wonderful and much appreciated video. Thanks, John👍🇯🇵❤
Just imagine a 1000 years old bonsai tree how many people take care it, and how many people feel love & joy looking at it,
3:20 the one in the center back. 2 right of the 1000 year old tree, lovely.
The bonsai work on so many levels. A metaphor for life. Good job with such a fast turnaround to make the video. 👍
Great video from our young peter barakan. Love Bonsai Trees
Cool stuff
I love your vids John. They have inspired me to finally get my passport and plan my trip to Japan. Thanks for the quality uploads man, you rock!
We have bonsai at our home , it's older than my grandma and they treated it like a boss
Amazing specimens!! Thank you for raising awareness on teamtree!
Just planted 20 trees. I love these kinds of events where it's related to the environment or Science. Thanks for the video John it was amazing and informative. My favourite Bonsai tree was the Blue Dragon ofc 🐉🐲 and the Momoji...and well, all of them xD
Hi John it's Cedric I bumped into you at the museum, I made it back home safely despite the multiple train delays going to the airport due to the typhoon, it was one of the most nerve-racking experience in my life! Congrats on delivering your video despite dealing with the weather conditions! ;)
Hey Cedric! Thank you so much for talking with me through the Typhoon part and the help :) glad you made it home. Today is sunny in Tokyo by the way. How was the flight? Hope you had a good trip - ended with Bonsai! 🌲
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN The 12 hours flight was without hiccup, I do what I always do, binge watch movies until my eyes can't stay open then pass out haha! Japan was fantastic and I will definitely consider coming back in the future, your videos are so inspiring. Thank you and keep up the great content!
Bonsai trees look so beautiful in the rain or the camera
I love walking in the rain! The colors are really nice with the tree for most of the year in rain 🌧
This video is very cool, I'm very happy you finally did bonsai trees as they are very important. Cool video as always, I was waiting for one to release!
They are The best!
Bonsai trees are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this museum with the world!
I have a bonsai tree in my house. I have had it for 6 years and keep in healthy. It survives the winters here too.
Still there?
I loved this episode and learned a lot about Bonzai tree's. Keep up the great work John. Only in Japan is#1
Great episode John! Attempted to watch it with the hubby, but he fell asleep few minutes into it (because he is always tired from school & work, not because it bored him! 🙂), so will watch again tonight! He LOVES Bonsai's!!
I want a bonsai tree more than ever now! I think I could watch it all day every day.
You should get one..
Great video! Love Bonsai myself. Please don't ever stop making videos.
They're all so beautiful, honestly the rain is a nice peaceful touch to the experience
They really are beautiful.
Great day to show them to us!
Japan is so pretty! It seems like a fantasy world with all its delicous looking food and lovely culture! I really hope i can go some day
Insta squad here... brilliant insight into Bonsai! Look beautiful in the rain! Definitely on my list to visit! Thank you!
Love that you're also involved in the fundraiser!! :D
This is probably one of my favorite episodes! I love trees and nature, and bonsai trees are one of my favorites. They're so unique and beautiful. Thank you for encouraging others to care about the environment and major props for shooting and editing this the same day! I didn't realize you did this all until I saw the stream. Awesome work John. 🎋♥️
I wish I had more time to try it myself, understand the mind of a master and learn more about the care of them. This is just an intro. I want to free myself from the digital world a little more and this or ikebana would be great. I wish I lived in the jungle minus the poisonous bugs 😂
Best way is to start with tropicals.. They are easiest for indoors
Bonsai trees are incredibly beautiful. I can certainly see where the "Blue Dragon" got its name from. I'm amazed how those maple trees have such small leaves, perfectly adding to the overall miniature tree. Truly amazing.
Wow ! How come I missed this one Everytime ! Thank you so much for this video. It's a must on my next visit to Tokyo
Waiting for next video, can’t wait
Overwhelming and breathtaking
i love trees🌲 :) I've been planting trees since i was a kid .
Instagram Squad!! Thanks for all the amazing videos John! Caught the live stream last night too :D
Love you John! Another great video. Thanks for all your hard work.
Really enjoyed this one , the trees are beautiful. Cheers !
coming to you from insta. i enjoy your work so much. keep it up and thank you!!
Wow.. Its all beautiful, looks amazing with the rain....
Japan is just soo awesome❤ My dream country. Love from India.
Love Bonsai trees and love the Japanese culture. I just discovered your channel. SUBSCRIBED:)
Love your videos! Bonsai was my first introduction to Japanese culture at an early age.
I love this episode. Thanks so much for sharing the bonsai with us
Thanks for the interesting stuff. Delighted with Japanese culture!
I love omiya bonsaï museum
I practice bonsai art, when I collect a tree from nature I plant others just to be grateful to mother nature
very cool to see such old bonsai
I alway get great pleasure to learn from you. Love the culture of Japan so much history. Keep up the great work.
Love this topic about Bonsai, thank you John for showing us the Bonsai Museum, kudos to your great effort even when it rain or shine you are always there. Learned about chiisai ki‼️🌲🌴🌳.👍👏👏
I’ve been here twice and I absolutely love it. An incredible place to see if your visiting Japan.
GOOD JOB. I WILL DONATE! I LOVE THE RAIN AND THE BEAUTY YOU SHOWED, WONDERFUL, AND AWSOME, WISH I WAS THERE
Okay, so 'bonsai' isn't a breed of tree, but a style in which they're cultivated? I didn't know that! Also, the 'Blue Dragon'... yeah. I can totally see it.
Props to your dedication to getting this done during a typhoon. I came over from Instagram after watching you on video.
It's a tree that's deprived of nutrition.....when cultivated, the roots are regularly trimmed so that the growth is stunted
@@nirmal148 Not really. It's deprived of space for root growth, not nutrition. Nutrients are added artificially using plant fertilisers. The roots are trimmed not to stunt growth but rather to stimulate new root growth and to make space for it. What controls growth is simply by restriction of space for the root growth (which in turn controls canopy growth), as well as by pruning of canopy branches and leaf defoliation.
@@alexverdigris9939 hi Alex, right.....dont have anything against bonsai trees or the culture.....there are definitely much worse things happening around us.....but think like this..... aren't you depriving the tree of the nutrition it would have otherwise got if you had let the roots grow and the canopy and size of tree grow in its own capacity?..... basically tree ensures its own survival by sprouting more roots when under stress of not having 'enough' root length.....
The tree definitely looks beautiful.....but I wanted to say what actually is done.....saying it nicely skews the impression.
In nature bonsai trees grow when the plant sprouts in an area of very low nutrition....like on rocky terrain etc......what man does is same, just deliberately.....the plant ofcourse tries it's best to survive.....seeing this we associate the story of struggle to survive and it's 'Beauty' and try to hide what it actually is.....don't get me wrong....there definitely is an awe seeing how God created plants to endure... seeing this in nature is definitely rewarding.....but for purpose of commercialisation when man deliberately multiplies the numbers, I personally feel it's cruel
@@nirmal148 no there deprived of space not nutrition, think of it like a gold fish the bigger space of water it's in the bigger it'll grow.
instantly subbed for the amazing shots and good editing
I need to go to Japan!!!
As always great video!
Thank you very much
Thank you sharing. It is so relaxing watching bonsai trees.
WOW this video is flawless. It inspired me to start planting more trees and post my bonsai garden on CZcams 👌🏼 Cheers from California 👋🏼
Amazing video and so interesting. Your videos are always relaxing.
So beautiful Japanese Bonsai Trees. 👍❤🇧🇩
I could sit in that garden all day
That was an interesting transition into the organ in the music for a minute.
My husband grew up in this area!!! Will definitely have to explore this the next time we are in Tokyo
very amzing!Thanks a lot for sharing!
Love your channel so much, keep it up!
Yay! Finally! Bonsai! 👏🙌✨✨✨
Yeah!
Unique place, how much beauty and elegance.
Stunning little trees.
Long ago Japanese discovered a tree only grows big as a root size but age as normal
Keep in small pot and taking care of tree became very popular low cost hobby for centuries
The nature are so beautiful 😍🌱
My favorite so far.. i hope to visit in japan next month!! Love the bonsai most specially the meaning
You narration is the best! And content, too! I Love the show, man! Thanks for the hard work!
Made me happy 👍 thank you
Wow thanks for a beautiful video.
Thank you! Thank you! Interesting and absolutely stunning bonsai trees! (Also I was pleased to practise my reading of Spanish and understanding of Japanese.)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME ADVENTURE 😊 💖 💖 I LOVE IT !! WOW WONDERFUL 😊
Thank you, this is very interesting to watch and well-informed! I hope to see more informative videos like this.
This is the first time I realised that bonsai are just miniatures of large ones. Thank you for revealing such a beautiful place to us. Even if I don't go anywhere else, I HAVE to come all the way to Japan because of you!
I've been camping at the Sequoia national park in California there literally jaw dropping I've never felt so small.
