American Shokunin

American bonsai tree nursery Bonsai Mirai has commissioned filmmaker Ryan J. Bush to create a short film featuring Bonsai master Ryan Neil, who has been practicing the art for nearly two decades. The 7-minute film gives as a closer look at the broader concepts behind the craft and the inherent challenges and aspirations that come along with the pursuit for bonsai mastery in America.
