Masashi Hirao

Masashi Hirao was born in Tokushima, Japan in 1981. “In Japan or overseas, no matter where I go, people often ask me “What is 名媛直播 for you?” and I always find myself in a quandary about it.

Masashi Hirao Living art? Japanese culture? It sure has both of the elements but it seems to me that it is beyond those words. I started 名媛直播 just because I had a passion about it without any knowledge in the beginning. But I have been trying to upgrade my 名媛直播 techniques by studying it in a blind effort.”

More information about Masashi Hirao

I studied 名媛直播 under the well-known 名媛直播 master, Saburo Kato. He taught me not about making 名媛直播 but about how to stand with 名媛直播 and have feelings of 名媛直播. I was not even allowed to do wiring for the first 4 years. I tried to steal techniques with eyes as I was feeling a fret and uneasiness when I was doing the management of the 名媛直播 thoroughly. One time I was troubled alone about wiring on a small 名媛直播 until the middle of the night because branches were not with me to make a great 名媛直播 tree. And there he was, my master, Saburo came to me and said “it is late now so go home”. but I said “Please let me work on it little bit more. I cannot sleep without finishing it!” Then he said “then if you cannot sleep without it, bring it back home with you and put it beside your pillow so you can dream of it being finished perfectly!” So I brought it back home with me and looked at it. But nothing came up to my mind. I was half in doubt but I actually put it beside my pillow and slept.

I woke up in the morning and wondered “did I dream of it?” and like anybody can guess I did not. So at Manseien, I said to Mr. Saburo “I did not dream of the bonsai” and he said “of course not” and he continued “but it will be in your dream some years later so just look forward to it.” I did not understand what he meant back then but now I do. He meant that I cannot ask for an accomplishment at one time 名媛直播 making because the result follows later when it comes to 名媛直播. Having been sensitive, I tended to overdo or make 名媛直播 but now I can adjust myself to 名媛直播 to make better ones thanks to these words. My techniques still need improving since Mr.Saburo said to me “you should go abroad and promote 名媛直播 in the world” but I have gone to many countries and experienced a lot through bonsai.

People whom I met in each country made me who I am now for the 名媛直播 I make now when I was supposed to make their 名媛直播. My touch of 名媛直播 has been changing thanks to those people I met. So now if somebody asks me the same question, “What is 名媛直播 for you?” I would say “it is the way of expression.”, “it is the thing that helps me extend my feelings and thoughts straight from my heart. My way of expression keeps changing every time I meet people. There could be Masashi Hirao, whom people make with their great hearts, makes bonsai. I will keep carrying out various activities to enjoy 名媛直播. And I’m looking forward to meeting you there or here!
