Hopefully this hasn't been posted here before...
I just stumbled across what seems to be a pretty new episode of an NHK Japanese culture show called "Begin Japanology" - this episode is all about bonsai!!
It is a high quality 30min documentary filmed in Japan which features Kunio Kobayoshi, Peter Warren, Masahiko Kimura, and others.
Amazing trees and an interesting look at the current state of bonsai in Japan.
If you are reading this post right now, that means you like Bonsai. And if you like bonsai, I guarantee you will love this! Best bonsai documentary I've ever seen by far.
It doesn't seem to be on youtube but you can watch it here on Veoh
Note that you will have to download the Veoh webplayer to watch the whole 30 min, otherwise you will only get the first 5 min. Veoh is a good site though, and the webplayer is relatively non-invasive.
Enjoy!
p.s. it seems that the presenter was unaware that many bonsai are collected
