Technique and appearance matter, yet the heart at the root is the essence of bonsai. In these days, when bonsai is often spoken of alongside fashion and interiors, we are here to pass on Japan’s traditional sense of beauty and spirit. Crossing the walls of language and distance, BONSAI JOURNEY is an orthodox school that journeys together.
If we can move through landscapes and exchange words, nothing can hinder the journey. To travel the world of bonsai in earnest, we have prepared two forms: “Landscapes” and “Letters.”
Watch the guide’s videos to cultivate knowledge and sensitivity. They attend not only to “how it is done,” but also to “why it is done.”
Ask the guide about your own bonsai with photos and messages. Cross the language barrier and experience a direct connection to a Japanese bonsai garden.
Even along the same path, a change in viewpoint changes the landscape and the feeling within.
Choose from three modes of travel inspired by journeys of old Japan.
The guide is Koji Hiramatsu. Among Japan's foremost bonsai craftsmen——yet one who never speaks of himself as a master of completion.
To keep questioning, to keep choosing——it is in showing that very posture that he leads.
Because there is no completion,
we can keep facing forward.
A few recordings, viewable with membership alone. Wherever your heart leads——take that first step.
The way begins here.
