This is probably the 5th video in a row Ive watched tonight..I appreciate you sharing your techniques and knowledge with me, thank you.
A video about Shari creation would be great! It would be nice to see how to accentuate curves and how to follow or widen the lifeline. Thanks
I absolutely love your videos, thank you so much for all your help and demonstrations. You’re my bonsai hero
Very informative Jason thank you for going deeper into a constantly mentioned in the hobby but never real explained
Another fantastic video. I always wondered how they did that.
Thank You for this vid!
Best Jin video I could find, excellent work! Many thanks 😎✌️
Your channel is helping me through a very severe thoracic/cervical spine issue , extremely painful and makes ones mind, obsessed with the pain. Neural pathways get “burned” with the pain signal etched into the mind, like a shadow image on old computer 🖥 monitors.
This helps soo much to disengage the “OMG the PAIN!” and the inevitable “WHY ME!!” Monkey 🐒 brain conversations with oneself.
I love Bonsai because, IMHO, the art is very Bushido.
It’s extremely mindful.
It compels one to recognize how trivial our human “timelines” are (especially helpful for me to remember🙏🏻) when our interpretations expressed in the living condition that is the tree 🌲 itself, are constrained by the growth time and seasons time of the specific tree.
Just as in our lives.
We can’t “speed up” the process of our Bonsai sculpture, and that forces us (me) to deal with this simple fact.
We’re not in control.
We’re cooperating with everyone and everything
I’m just beginning to explore Bonsai after decades away from it. Last tree I had was in the mid 1980’s..
I just bought 4 starters and I’m so happy I found this channel
Hi DevInvest, Very happy to hear that the videos are helping and have renewed your interest back in Bonsai. Hope you get well soon and thanks again for watching!
Love your videos! Appreciate you!
Awesome thanks for the explanation Jason!
very nice...
Where the jin ends on a branch is it supposed to equal around the branch in regards to where the jin ends and the bark begins? You did explain why u made it equal in this video but I made one on the apex of a spruce and thought it shouldn't be equal to give it a more natural look. This is on my first and only bonsai so far. Thanks
Great vid as always awesome info.
Beautiful!
OH! So THAT'S how one uses jin pliers. Cool, thanks. :D
It'll be awhile before I need 'em tho, just started this last year.
Thank you, please can you tell me why your tools have been taped with orange ???
IM GETTIN A TREE FROM YOU GUYS
what species can you make jin on without comprising on its health? I have a purpleleaf sandcherry bush that ive potted, root and top pruned into a training pot and it has multiple trunks. One of the trunks is idol for jin but I have never seen it with this specie, in fact, I dont think Ive ever seen a purpleleaf sandcherry bonsai before but it has such wonderful arial roots and its responded very well to the pruning (its even started to backbud very well). Waiting for the first spring so it can show off the wonderful flowers it gets.
What do you call that round circular carving tool and where can I get one? Good video
Carving tool😆 you can get one basically anywhere
Do you have to do Any after care to the jin?
any tips on growing a indoor ficus bonsai? i'm starting in a few months, i've got a ficus downstairs, but i'm getting a cutting from it to root, i'm getting the first roots by air layering, and i'm aware of how to tend a ficus generally, high humidity moderately warm room, medium light, moist, but not soaked soil, i'd like tips like, what bonsai soil to use, pruning, any particular issues with shaping (delicate branches and the like) and any particular varieties you'd recommend.
Will needle nose pliers work
do they ever jin a tropical or is that a no no?
Super helpful video Jason. Thanks mate. If you do see this comment I'd love some advice on whether or not it's ok to wait a couple of weeks after defoliating the branch before making it into a Jin (and wiring the jin) or if it'll become too brittle & like deadwood in that time? Having to style my juniper in stages so as not to rush
Yes, the only downside is that the jin will not be as flexible. If that's not a concern, then waiting to do the jin is fine. Hope this helps!
@@easternleaf yes that’s helpful thank you mate
i notice on my juniper there is dead foliage on branches at the base of the small branches. and sometimes within the foliage..is it recommended to clean these leaves off or are you supposes to leave the dead foliage?
Great to see a new vid!!!!
What is the best way and product to use on a starter bonsai, Hinoki Cypress to be specific
Does the branch die completely after the jin process?
Ah Ha, your 'secret' is out, Monrovia is your nursery of choice. They're about 10 miles from me.
Thank you Sensei (my one word of Japanese).
Is it ever too early to attempt to create a Jin?
To shaky
Great work and AWESOME information, but your camera work, angles, and your hands are ALL over the place. It’s hard to follow!!!!!!!!! You should consider not moving your hands too much or use a “pointer” so people could follow what your talking about.
First and second!!!
