Juniper bonsai (Juniperus) - Height (Tree): 20 cm - Depth (Tree): 53 cm - Japan

Juniper Bonsai (Juniperus) – Semi-Cascade Han-Kengai with Aged Trunk – 20 cm

striking Juniper bonsai (Juniperus sp.), presented in the elegant and dynamic Semi-Cascade (Han-Kengai) style, evoking a tree growing naturally on a rocky cliff, shaped by wind, gravity and time.

The bonsai features a powerful trunk with a diameter of approximately 4 cm, showing pronounced movement, natural twists and textured aged bark. The trunk emerges firmly from the soil before flowing outward and downward, creating a strong horizontal and descending visual line that defines the semi-cascade character.

The canopy develops extensively to one side, reaching an impressive 53 cm in width, creating a dramatic contrast with the compact overall height of 20 cm. This proportion enhances the sense of age, resilience and natural struggle typical of junipers growing in extreme environments. The foliage is dense, healthy and vibrant, with fine ramification already well established.

Several natural deadwood elements (jin) are present, adding depth and authenticity to the composition and reinforcing the rugged mountain character of the tree. The surface is finished with natural moss, further enhancing the aged appearance.

The bonsai is planted in a refined rectangular ceramic pot, glazed in a soft cream tone, harmoniously sized and perfectly suited to the semi-cascade design.

This is an excellent shohin bonsai for collectors and enthusiasts, offering strong visual impact, mature character and further refinement potential.
