Restoring an old and neglected Japanese Larch Bonsai

In this video we take you on a journey over 16 Months in which we repot, restyle and rewire an old japanese Larch Bonsai that we acquired from a Bonsai collector who had passed away.

The final shot of Daniel smiling at the tree is heartwarming. The whole video turned out great. Hopefully many people will see this.

You get an instant feeling that these people are kind souls and I love watching each and everyone of your videos. It’s amazing to see how much love and effort goes into the videos and I would also love to learn more about the people behind the craft if you want to share that with your growing community. Much love.

Gorgeous tree, very beautiful design 👌
The final big cuts indeed lead to a beautiful tree, but they were hard to watch!
I like that you have been working for a long time for these videos! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@MokumaBonsai]

I had to convince myself to do those cuts for 14 months. They were not only painful to watch but also to make. But I think - especially when I think of the tree a few years in the future that this was a good decision. Thanks again for your kind words, much appreciated.

[@ChrisNLger]

Amazing work. Love the tree.

[@MokumaBonsai]

@@ChrisNLger Thank You!

[@JMistah]

What a treat! The tree turned out great and the production is professional. Looking forward for more to come. Nice watch collection by the way 😉

[@naturgeist]

Wow, sehr beeindruckendes Video! Top Qualität und super Bearbeitung der Lärche ✨

[@silenceiscompliance.]

Really liked the chop sticks in the roots and wire technique, I'll remember that. Kinda felt the tree was a bit tall, but we all like our trees our own way.

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

I love working with Larch and this was a very relaxing video of a great restyling. Thanks for this one :)

Bravo sehr schön gemacht, gefällt mir sehr gut.👏

[@pavelsimsa1357]

very nice transformation. I would like to see it with the lower branch cut 7:37

[@MokumaBonsai]

@@pavelsimsa1357 Sorry, it‘s gone. To us it didn’t make Sense to leave it on. But I looked at the tree for 1,5 years before making the decision.

[@Schmitzer95]

Just beautiful! Hope for many more Videos to come!

[@MokumaBonsai]

Thank you!

[@Vogtlandbonsai]

Hello,
Your larch is a very interesting tree. Your approach to structuring the tree is also very good.👌👌 You have a good eye for the structure to show an old tree.
Have fun with the larch.
Best wishes from Vogtland, Rolf

[@Dirtguerilla]

Thank you!

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

I have a larch growing in the ground. Will probably pot it up next year. The nebari is thickening up lovely. Good work! ….. Just subscribed!

[@BonsaiCornwall]

Unbelievable that I’ve just stumbled across this channel, this video is a top, top quality production and deserves viral views once yt realises it! 💪🏼
You handled this larch brilliantly and although I may have winced at some of the branch elimination, you proved me wrong in the end with the final design 😍
Right, off to binge your other videos lol 💚

@@SulamAkarBonsai Thank You! Great we have viewers from Indonesia! 🤩

[@SulamAkarBonsai]

@@MokumaBonsai you're welcome, bro 😊

[@TOMSAI]

Wow einfach nur WOW 🤩 . Klasse überarbeitet und ein Mega Video! Bitte mehr davon 🙏🏻 Grüße Tom

[@MokumaBonsai]

Danke Tom! Wir versuchen dran zu bleiben. Bäume sind genug da… nur Zeit zum Videos machen ist immer eng. 😅

[@fletcherlewis]

Superb work ❤

[@my_bonsai_and_koi]

WOW!
Sehr, wirklich sehr schöne Arbeit mit einem tollen Baum.
Filmtechnisch perfekt umgesetzt, ab und an etwas zu lange, aber das ist Geschmackssache.
Dazu eine Gestaltung, die sehr gelungen ist und inspiriert.
Meine Erkenntnis daraus lautet, dass weniger mitunter deutlich mehr ist. Danke dafür! 🙏
Das Haar in der Suppe? Hattet Ihr keinen dünnen, ebenfalls schwarzen Draht?!?!? 😉🤣
Okay, Spaß beiseite!
Gefällt, Abo gesetzt und gerne mehr! 👍💪
Grüßle!

[@MokumaBonsai]

Danke fürs Lob. Dein Abo ist der Ritterschlag. Freut uns sehr und bedeutet uns viel.
Schwarzer Draht war leider aus, aber die Kamera lief. Der Draht ist aber schon wieder ab. Die Bilder sind schon etwas älter.
Zur Länge: da muss ich noch nen guten Rhythmus finden. Sind meine ersten Gehversuche mit Video-Editing. Allgemein sind für mich noch viele Fragen offen, wie ich Videos mache, bzw. wie wir Videos machen.
Also welche Formate und was für Videos. Wird sich ergeben in der Zukunft und wir werden hoffentlich immer besser.
Erstmal schön, dass du hierher gefunden hast. Empfehle uns gerne weiter.
Gruß ins Ländle, Lutz 🙋🏼‍♂️

@@markboulton543 Thank You! If I should ever need space on my bench I‘ll let you know…

[@markboulton543]

thanks ​@@MokumaBonsai

[@stefanneugriemsmann896]

Tolle Gestaltung. 😊
Ob der untere Ast auf der rechten Seite wirklich ab musste?
Hätte ihn wahrscheinlich erst mal mitgestalten. Abschneiden ginge dann imnet noch.

[@paoloneri6008]

👏👏👏👍

[@robertbrandner]

Please get rid of the music and talk through what you are doing. 😊

[@MokumaBonsai]

That's what everyone else is doing. We'll think about it.
