Day 1 Massive Transformation
A great way to kick off a bonsai apprenticeship is with this large Japanese Black Pine transformation.!
This was Day1 of a three day 'baptism of fire' for our new 'Deshi' 弟子(apprentice).
Five hours of wiring, notching out, guy-wiring, and bending has resulted in a very rewarding result as well as an invaluable learning experience for our Deshi (Steve).
The ongoing development and refinement of this pine is a satisfying 'genesis' for this bonsai and provides a foundation for further, and never ending, opportunities for Steve to learn and evolve throughout his bonsai journey.
Yoku dekimashita Steve san.!!!
