Juniper Bonsai on Deadwood (Tanuki / Phoenix Graft) – Artistic Composition

Offered for sale is a striking juniper bonsai created using a natural deadwood trunk, employing the technique known as Tanuki (Phoenix graft)—one of the most dramatic and visually powerful approaches in contemporary bonsai art.

The composition is built around a naturally aged deadwood trunk with strong character, shaped by time and the elements. Deep grain, natural cracks, and a weathered patina evoke the appearance of an ancient mountain tree that has survived extreme conditions.
Several living juniper sections have been carefully integrated into the deadwood, perfectly fitted to follow its lines, creating a harmonious dialogue between deadwood (jin) and living vegetation.

The foliage pads are well distributed along the vertical axis, with branches trained and oriented in a natural, dynamic way, giving depth, movement, and a strong landscape presence. The foliage is dense, healthy, and bright green, indicating excellent vitality.

The overall effect recalls an old, weather-beaten alpine tree, sculpted by wind and time yet still growing with strength. A highly scenic composition, ideal for display and for collectors who appreciate the more artistic and expressive side of bonsai.
