Apprenticeship

[justBonsai]

It's been awhile since I last posted. First I was crazy busy with college and graduating and now I'm crazy busy apprenticing at Kouka-en

I love the nuthouse, but basically I have no free time now or if I do I spend it studying Japanese so I won't be posting often anymore. Things are a bit hectic and there is an overwhelming amount of information I am trying to learn, but I am somehow managing.

Anyhow I'm still alive, making mistakes everyday but learning a lot at the same time. Here my very first tree I was given to style. Still gotta do the mid sections and crown but I'll post before and after pictures when finished if I can.

It must be quite overwhelming, embarking on the journey that you are taking. You are both brave and lucky! I hope you can post a little, and keep us in the loop, but I bet you are pretty busy to say the least.

Ha! Good luck! Yes, I bet your mind is getting blown every day: 1) the quality of the trees you are surrounded by; 2) the amount of detail they put into every task; 3) how long the workday is; 4) the pace at which you’re working!

good job mate.

Not many people get to follow their passion, most people just end up doing a job just because it pays the bills, you are one of the lucky ones. Dont forget that.
