What is the future of a tree? Are we a part of that tree’s future? Does the destiny of a bonsai artist manifest or is it predetermined? Josh Vanderplate is exploring these and many other questions in his research. Ryan and Josh sat down to discuss so... more
Long-term student and friend of Mirai, Sam Tan, was in the garden for a week of collaborative study. Anytime Sam is around there is guaranteed thought provoking discussion. But when you combine Sam’s curiosity and analytical mind with the quirky crew... more
As bonsai professionals we are often isolated in our own echo chamber and islands of thought working away on projects and the challenge of making a living at this obscure art form. That’s not to complain, the silent introspection of a personal practi... more

Ryan is the greatest bonsai artist in America in my opinion. But dude, you need to talk less when you’re interviewing someone. You have plenty of opportunities to tell your story and express your opinions. When you have someone on your show you gotta let them talk! Still love you but seriously…
I love listening to this podcast. Everything Mirai does is top notch! My wife even loves to listen to this with me. Something about Ryan Neil, he just pulls you in to every word he says!
One of my all time favorite art podcasts. I love learning about bonsai of course, but for this particular podcast, I find the most value in hearing how other artists think and talk about their work and process. It is inspiring and affirming for myself as an artist. These conversations often help me to think about my own creative work in new ways, and from different angles. Thank you so much for all you do!
Love the podcast. I listen to all the episodes and look forward to many more. Capturing the feeling of Bonsai doesn’t alway mean you’re talking directly about Bonsai. Fun and insightful conversations with artists, conservationists, and everyday people. 5 out of 5.
Thank you Mr. Neal. I have strong love of the content bonsai understanding. This podcast is my favorite, but lots big megabytes size making it difficult to listen. Please can file size it be less than 100 mb.
Jambo, Sensei Neal. :). Trees are good education for adult yes :)
