it was a amazing video and trip! you could have showed a little more of the trees in the nurseries and also showed the ones you purchased one by one giving details about them. many people have said this, but i am writing one more comment about it just so you notice we like the vids and want them to be the best. thanks for sharing your trip with us!
Great video, but my preference would be for much less music and also slower panning of a few trees rather than panning the camera quickly over too many trees. I cannot see much but lots of bone white branches on a bright background.
just going over some vids again with the comments. amazing vid and some stupid comments. people he is WORKING, he has been showing us the life of an apprentice and some of Japan's everyday going ons, which no one has done before he started 12 years ago. he's not there to video a catalog for us. sit back and enjoy, learn and be grateful OR go to Japan and do it yourself. and let's not start a troll conversation about this on his good channel. SK.
Hey Bjorn, This Vlog is really great!! I really like your positive way and character and how you bring a new and easy way into bonsai. i do bonsai since 4 years now and its a drug:) go on with that!!!! cheers Mate
Yes less music and slower panning , these videos are fantastic, you should bring a cameraman with you, I would pay for these videos. Your Japanese is fantastic as well. Please make more of these trip videos as you purchase. Can you also make one on how they are packed, shipped and whats involved in customs etc.
Seeing Mt. Fuji reminded me of my home in Tokyo. New sub here and I love your vlog! It portrays Japanese culture so well in my opinion!!! Love you Mr Bonsai Man!
Thondup Andrugtsang Except the tree house masters host is very energetic all the time lol. This guy is much more realistically mellowed out and level-headed! I love both shows and admire and respect both of their crafts.
Are you technically still an apprentice to your master? After so many years of training and experience, I wonder why you do not start your own nursery in North America, or become a teacher/instructor. Though I assume it will take years & years of training and learning to be a true master, I guess you are already good enough to make a profit out of your experience in NA or Europe. I am really impressed with your patience since not many young Japanese do things like that. BTW your Japanese skill is very impressive too. :)
acatinny I finished my five year apprenticeship three years ago, but I live in Japan as a bonsai professional now. I will start a nursery in the US in 2017 though.
Good for you! You totally deserve it, and I hope all your hard works will pay off though I have no idea how hard to do that in US like collecting so many Bonsais and the cost for them. Wishing the best!
OfTheDawn Patriot disclosed amount probably so they aren't telling you how much they spend. Also, bonsai don't just grow in the woods and for their collection they probably want good specimen not just some random plant that you get at walmart.
I was wondering if i go to Japan as a tourist, can i buy a bonsai like maybe a maple tree or cherry tree bonsai and bring it back to California... is that allowed?
Yes it will be allowed you just need to have lots of money for that like transportation tax the only problem is the transportation and it varies on the climate if the tree can survive your location
This Vlog could have been longer, all that miles, all that amazing places, and you did not stop there to make a walk arround slowly showing the trees ? too bad ! too sad ! too fast !!!!! Anyway thaks alot for doing this, is amazing though. Remember go slowly with the camera when you show around Regards!
just casually picking up a couple $10k to $30k trees, no biggie :D
Really nice bonsai nurseries in Japan each one looking like a master pieces.
Made in Japan. Excellent!
I like the editing,
and the bonsai
i agree

Japan looks like fun bro. Clean, efficient, and friendly
Great video, but my preference would be for much less music and also slower panning of a few trees rather than panning the camera quickly over too many trees. I cannot see much but lots of bone white branches on a bright background.
Who else is watching this in 2023?! I love this video and keep coming back to it 🤩
2024 🙂
I don't know how you choose what to buy. Every single tree in every nursery looked spectacular.

It would be a good show if you could go to the people who supply those nursuries , a little side trip ! Love your style!
Only tens of thousands? Man the market there is amazing. Great vid, thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Hey Bjorn,
This Vlog is really great!! I really like your positive way and character and how you bring a new and easy way into bonsai. i do bonsai since 4 years now and its a drug:) go on with that!!!!
cheers Mate
The music cracks me up - So gangster. Great trees.
which tree can I use that has small leaves like a conventional bonsai and deadwood but grows indoors? thanks
Yes less music and slower panning , these videos are fantastic, you should bring a cameraman with you, I would pay for these videos. Your Japanese is fantastic as well. Please make more of these trip videos as you purchase. Can you also make one on how they are packed, shipped and whats involved in customs etc.
wow "Fujun" and the one after the "swirly" just such amazing motion.
I know nothing about Bonsai trees but I am really enjoying your videos. I like your calm demeanor and your dedication to your craft.
the one at 11:05 is amazing, the dead wood made such cool shapes, very aesthetically pleasing
Omg - you´re Kristoff from Frozen!!
Great video.
Did the trees travel well over the two days. Any watering during the travel?
Bjorn I love this series of videos. Keep up the good work. You have so many fans following you.
The buying trip in this video was in Japan, now that you are in the USA is it possible to go on a buying trip like you did before?
How do you get them back and what is the cost? I would love to vacation there and come home with a tree.
Like the tour but how you transport it to USA?. Is it les expensive than America?
The Vlogs are great Bjorn, pls keep them coming!
wish you talked about what nobody talks about - prices! how much some of there cost?
I'm curious as to how you get the history on each tree?
Is that a Trident Maple he's tapping on 12:37 ? beautiful massive tree! Wow!
Seeing Mt. Fuji reminded me of my home in Tokyo. New sub here and I love your vlog! It portrays Japanese culture so well in my opinion!!! Love you Mr Bonsai Man!
whats the cost of them bonsai... boss???
You remind me of a younger version of the host of Treehouse Masters on the cable network. You are truly a master in your field.
Thondup Andrugtsang Except the tree house masters host is very energetic all the time lol. This guy is much more realistically mellowed out and level-headed! I love both shows and admire and respect both of their crafts.
John Doe you are right.
Agreed, also check out Bonsai talk here on youtube.. very good.
I really love the arce double trunk, regards from Mexico
How much are each trees? Dealer price?
Bonsai addicts!
Mind blowing quantity of amazing quality trees! What is the process if getting those back into the U.S. ?
Great video again. Thank you for sharing!!!
That’s a lot of driving.
What a fun trip!
10:44 those three are magical looking
what prise on this trees in japan ???
Love bonsai
Thank you Bjorn for you beautiful video, it is fantastic!
And where do the trees come from originally? Planted in nurseries etc?
bonsai community seems healthy. nurseries buy from other nurseries.
Love you videos; living the dream 😊❤️
And what do you make with those bonsai trees ? Still collecting ore do. you sell them for bigger money
Great video, this is my dream trip
"Fujin" is really a stunning tree.
Nice. I wonder what one of these videos would be like with Slayer playing.
Awesome. How do you secure the trees in the back of the van?
+Dawid de Villiers
Big bonsai = heavy bonsai.
Björn Bjönholm = careful driver.
Thank you, Björn.
I really like your videos. Very informative. I've only been into bonsai a couple years.
What’s the average price for these trees?
i kind of wish i knew the prices and for whom / why they are being collected.

Bjorn Bjorholm Bonsai Open one in Northern California!
0:35 is that Takashi Amano?
Totally jealous of all of that material!
como haces para llevar el mismo peinado las 24horas del día?
jajajjjaja
How much money do you spent for all those trees????
Impresionante material...
How much are they? Why can't you get trees from woods?
OfTheDawn Patriot disclosed amount probably so they aren't telling you how much they spend. Also, bonsai don't just grow in the woods and for their collection they probably want good specimen not just some random plant that you get at walmart.
What will you be doing to these trees?
Great vlog!
Awesome trip you’re lucky 🍀
when did you learn to speak japanese? how did you learn, and how long?
ohh god looked the beef amazing
Do more like this it was great
Beautiful bonsai but i wan to know how old...
How much per tree you guys got and why they purchased?
Any concerns about bringing those along with you if you ever leave japan?
Would be nice to get an idea of pricing
what is the soundtrack in the background at 3:28?
3 ways.
Meaning the nursery never grow any bonsai from scratch?
Growing Bonsai from scratch won't work, you can only grow Bonsai from seed.
on average how much do sell a good bonsai for ?
tens of thousands?.. damn.. do you guys make like half a million a year or maybe more?..
I was wondering if i go to Japan as a tourist, can i buy a bonsai like maybe a maple tree or cherry tree bonsai and bring it back to California... is that allowed?
Yes it will be allowed you just need to have lots of money for that like transportation tax the only problem is the transportation and it varies on the climate if the tree can survive your location
great video!
what city you live?
this video cussed me to rethink my future material. wow
Please change your music selection.
This Vlog could have been longer, all that miles, all that amazing places, and you did not stop there to make a walk arround slowly showing the trees ? too bad ! too sad ! too fast !!!!!
Anyway thaks alot for doing this, is amazing though.
Remember go slowly with the camera when you show around
