Description from the seller
Large Juniper Tanuki Bonsai – Massive Deadwood Trunk 10 cm – Expressive Composition
Offered for auction is an impressive Tanuki (Phoenix graft) Juniper bonsai, a highly expressive composition built around a powerful piece of aged natural deadwood.
The deadwood trunk, measuring approximately 15 cm in diameter, displays deep fissures, dramatic movement, and a strongly weathered surface that convincingly evokes the presence of an ancient tree shaped by time and the elements. The living juniper has been skillfully integrated along the deadwood, creating a harmonious and natural visual union between life and age.
The foliage is healthy, dense, and well-ramified, forming a compact canopy that enhances the visual weight of the composition. The low, spreading structure gives the tree a mature and stable appearance despite its relatively compact size.
The overall silhouette is balanced and visually striking, making this bonsai particularly suitable for collectors who appreciate dramatic deadwood compositions and tanuki artistry.
The tree is presented in a glazed bonsai container that complements the composition and is ready for display.
