Description from the seller
Exceptional Juniper Tanuki Bonsai – Massive 9 cm Trunk – Dramatic Ancient Deadwood – 35 cm Height
⸻
Offered for auction is an exceptional and highly expressive Juniper Tanuki (Phoenix graft) bonsai, a powerful composition combining a vigorous live juniper with spectacular ancient deadwood.
This specimen immediately commands attention thanks to its impressive trunk presence, measuring 9 cm in diameter, unusually thick and substantial for a Tanuki composition of this scale.
The deadwood is dramatically twisted, deeply textured, and naturally weathered, evoking the appearance of a centuries-old tree shaped by harsh mountain winds. The flowing grain, natural hollows, and sculptural curves create remarkable depth and movement.
The live vein integrates harmoniously with the deadwood, forming a convincing and highly refined Tanuki structure. The transitions between living tissue and ancient wood are seamless and natural, demonstrating careful cultivation and artistic vision.
The foliage mass is dense, compact, and vibrant green, well-balanced across the composition, with a total canopy width of 45 cm, creating a dynamic yet harmonious silhouette.
The vertical jin elements add height and drama, reinforcing the impression of age and resilience.
Dimensions:
• Trunk diameter: 9 cm
• Tree height: 35 cm
• Canopy width: 45 cm
• Ceramic pot: 5 x 12 x 21 cm
• Total height with pot: approx. 40 cm
The bonsai is presented in a refined rectangular ceramic pot that complements the earthy tones of the wood and foliage.
Artistic Highlights:
• Massive trunk presence for a Tanuki
• Spectacular sculptural deadwood
• Strong visual movement and depth
• Mature, exhibition-ready appearance
• Excellent health and vigor
This is not a beginner’s piece — it is a collector-level Tanuki with powerful aesthetic impact and strong display presence.
A rare opportunity to acquire a dramatic and substantial Juniper Tanuki bonsai.
Professionally cultivated and ready for advanced collection or exhibition display.
