In fact, “bonsai” is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word for penzai (aka penjing). The list of things is too long to list, but ramen (lamian), the kimono, and bonsai are several of them.

If it didn’t, it did at least give some the mantra of “wax on, wax off” when putting on that second coat of wax on their car.Īn example of Penjing.
#Notecase pro vs bonsai movie#
can be partially be attributed to this movie franchise. That is enough money that the studio also decided to spawn two more sequels throughout the 80’s, so maybe the notoriety of bonsai, catching flies with ohashi (chopsticks), and karate in the U.S.

Keep in mind that’s back in the 80’s, and if you were to take inflation into consideration, that’s appoximately 208 million dollars or roughly what Star Trek Beyond recently pulled in at the box office. It cost the studio only 8 million at the time to make, but it grossed roughly 90 million. In 1984 because when the movie came out, it was a big hit. If anybody is familiar with bonsai in the U.S., it may be due to the movie Karate Kid. Also when I say “bonsai,” think only tree. Yes, I know, you are here because you are watching Cobra Kai on Netflix, and if you are old school, you know Jaden Smith is not the real Karate Kid. Miyagi: “If it comes from inside you, always right one.” Danielsanĭaniel: “How do I know if my picture is the right one?” Miyagi is from Okinawa which is an island 400 miles South of Japan which would be like the Florida Keys or Hawaii in comparison to the mainland.
