The creation of Mirai happened in my head over the six years I apprenticed myself to Masahiko Kimura, the most revolutionary figure in Japanese bonsai and the most revered bonsai master in the world. Days were long, starting at 7 a.m. and ending between 10 p.m. and midnight, 7 days a week. I had a day off once every 2-3 months. My reprieve from the demanding nature of my apprenticeship, as well as my coping mechanism, was to envision a purpose and justification for the sacrifice and dedication.
