When I was young I watched the Karate Kid movie and, as you might have guessed by reading the title of this blog post, I was amazed by those little Bonsai trees that mr. Miyagi styled. I just had to have one!
And so started my passion for Bonsai. This blog post lists the Bonsai moments showed in the movies, with a few screenshots. Enjoy reading.
Bonsai featured in the Karate Kid movies; a list
Karate Kid – Part 1 (1984)
IMDB: “A handymanhttps://www.bonsaiempire.com/martial arts master agrees to teach a bullied boy karate and shows him that there is more to the martial art than fighting.”
Karate Kid – Part 2 (1986)
IMDB: “Daniel accompanies his mentor to Okinawa who is off to see his dying father and confront his old rival, while Daniel inadvertently makes an enemy of his own. “
Not much Bonsai in part 2, only one line: “Daniel-san, this bonsai have strong root. Same same you”.
Karate Kid – Part 3 (1989)
IMDB: “A bad guy from KK1 attempts to gain revenge on Daniel and Miyagi, with the aid of an old army buddy. “
In part 3 Bonsai plays a big role as Daniel san is setting up his Bonsai Shop. Also, collecting yamadori (bonsai from nature) is shown in the film.
An important quote of mr Miyagi: “Ah. Only root karate come from Miyagi. Just like bonsai choose own way grow because root strong you choose own way do karate same reason.”

Finally, in the blu ray box a featurette is included about the art of Bonsai: Life of Bonsai
