Description from the seller
Juniper Tanuki Bonsai – Powerful Deadwood – Compact Shohin Size – 25 cm
⸻
Offered for auction is an impressive Juniper Tanuki (Phoenix graft) bonsai, a highly expressive composition that combines dramatic deadwood with compact, well-structured live foliage.
The composition is dominated by a striking piece of natural deadwood measuring approximately 12 cm at the base, featuring deep natural fissures, elegant movement, and strong aged character. The living juniper has been skillfully grafted and trained along the deadwood, creating a convincing visual harmony between life and ancient wood — the essence of the Tanuki technique.
The live vein shows excellent health and vigor, with dense, compact foliage pads carefully arranged to create depth and balance. The branching structure is already well developed, giving the tree immediate visual impact despite its compact size.
Thanks to its proportions, dramatic shari, and refined silhouette, this bonsai presents a powerful presence suitable for both advanced collectors and enthusiasts of deadwood compositions.
The tree is planted in a quality bonsai container that complements the overall aesthetic.
