**SHIPPED IN A WOODEN BOX FOR SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND.** This refined Japanese Black Pine bonsai was imported directly from Japan and shows the hallmarks of long-term, skilled cultivation. The tree features a powerful, aged trunk with deeply fissured, plated bark, conveying maturity and strength despite its compact size. Subtle trunk movement creates visual interest and a strong sense of balance. Well-placed primary branches radiate naturally from the trunk, forming a classic informal upright (moyogi) silhouette. Dense needle growth with healthy, deep green color reflects excellent vigor and proper seasonal management. The foliage pads are developing nicely, offering strong potential for further refinement and needle reduction.
