Following are some images of Kinoshita-sensei. The first is the master in contemplation as he waits to start the demo. The next is in progress and the last is the finished product, an old shimpaku done in semi-cascade style.

Learning the mechanics of bonsai is a matter of rote. Over and over again the processes are practiced until the hands and eyes know the moves.
Learning the art of bonsai may be more like water wearing away a stone, or climbing a mountain where the peak is always shrouded in fog and just out of reach.
Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.
