"Bonsai have made surprisingly frequent appearances on the large and small
screens. The value of these lies in the audience's repeated exposure
to the fruits of our interest. To most non-enthusiasts, these trees,
whether living or artificial, look about the same. But multiple viewings,
however briefly, can help generate an interest in the bonsai art. "Magical miniature landscapes continue occasionally to grace our large and small screens. One might almost be inclined to think that some of the very brief portrayals were being planted like Easter eggs. Or is it that the art is finally achieving a certain level of widespread acceptance?" |

The following is an on-going tally of the portrayals listed in the five Boldly Grow sections on this website. It is presented here to give a better picture of the prevalence of depictions of bonsai and related artforms in the moving media. We are aware that, in addition, there have been probably several hundreds of local news station segments on bonsai club displays and/or brief interviews with club members or teachers. We are not planning on even attempting to keep track of these usually one-time airings. We do acknowledge this "Shadow Boldly Grow." What would an analysis of the credited propmasters, greensmen, etc. for the different shows and films yield? How many persons were involved in multiple shows? Are there any names which are repeatedly involved? A new category could be made with YouTube-type videos from the Internet. For the present, however, these are included in "TV Episodes" as opposed to "Video and Computer Games." There are many educational clips under the search category of "bonsai" in YouTube. We will review an assortment and decide the best way to list them in the BoldlyGrow section. |
