Unreal Gravity Defying Mini Forests: Bonsai Master Masahiko Kimura Takes The Craft To A Whole New Level

Masahiko Kimura, also known as the “Magician of Bonsai”, is a legendary bonsai master and artist from Japan. He’s famous for his incredible ability to shape and train bonsai trees into stunning, one-of-a-kind works of art.

One of the things that set Kimura apart from other bonsai masters is his technique for raising “bonsai forests”. Basically, this involves planting multiple trees close together and training them to grow in a way that creates the illusion of a tiny, dense forest. It’s pretty crazy to see it in person!

To create a bonsai forest, Kimura starts by carefully selecting the trees he wants to use and then carefully arranging them in a pot. He’ll then use techniques like pruning, wiring, and shaping to train the trees to grow in specific directions and create the desired overall look. It’s a slow process, but the end result is always worth it.

Kimura is known for his bold, dramatic style and his willingness to take risks in his bonsai creations. He’s not afraid to make big cuts or to drastically change the shape of a tree if it will help create the final effect he’s after.
