Outdoor Bonsai - Juniperus Procumbens 'Nana' - Tanuki (Phoenix Graft) - Impressive 9cm Trunk - Powerful Shohin Character
Description
General Overview:
Up for auction is a high-impact Juniperus Procumbens 'Nana' crafted with the professional Tanuki (Phoenix Graft) technique. This specimen stands out for its incredible girth-to-height ratio; with a trunk width of 9 cm and a height of only 26 cm, it possesses the powerful "sumo" proportions highly coveted by Shohin collectors.
Styling and Aesthetics:
• The Trunk: The defining feature is the massive 9 cm base. The integration of the living juniper with the sculptural deadwood is executed with great care, following the natural curves of the wood to create a seamless, aged appearance.
• Compact Power: Standing at 26 cm, the tree is extremely compact. The deadwood (Jin) has been beautifully whitened, providing a sharp, dramatic contrast against the vibrant green foliage.
• Foliage: The canopy is healthy and well-distributed, with a width of 35 cm. The dense foliage pads are already well-formed, showcasing the classic, fine texture of the 'Nana' variety.
Pot and Presentation:
The tree is paired with a rectangular cream-white glazed ceramic pot. The light color of the pot perfectly complements the bleached deadwood and highlights the intense green of the juniper needles.
