Watch bonsai master Kunio Kobayashi at the 45th Japan Bonsai Taikan Exhibition (Taikan-ten 2025) in Kyoto as he and his apprentices transform a Japanese pine in a live demo. Kobayashi, owner of the Shunka-en Bonsai Museum in Tokyo and one of the world’s most respected bonsai artists, shows his approach to shaping a large tree with precision and speed. In this video you’ll see Kobayashi use a chainsaw alongside traditional tools to quickly reduce and refine the pine’s structure, with help from his team, all within a few hours of work. You’ll also get a sense of the energy and skill involved in a high-level bonsai styling session at one of Japan’s premier bonsai events. The tree was also repotted off-season (in late fall). With proper preparation and after care, and performed by an expert, this should be no issue. We do advise to repot in early spring whenever possible. https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/all-the-things-you-love License code: YXYRWBY1GJOI5OAT https://uppbeat.io/t/avbe/kitchen-sunbeams License code: PXQ4CIEI5LQNJSQN https://uppbeat.io/t/jeff-kaale/new-chapter License code: FTD3Y0OMIUZCTGAQ Serious about growing your own Bonsai trees?
