Description from the seller
Bonsai Juniper Shohin 17cm - Semi-Cascade Crown 34cm Ancient Wood Jin - One of a Kind
ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE - STUNNING SHOJIN JUNIPER BONSAI IN SEMI-CASCADE WITH ANCIENT WOOD
Available is a fascinating and expressive specimen of Juniper (Juniperus) set in the Shohin style. The plant stands out for a dynamic and visually striking unbalanced geometry: a compact height of only 17 cm versus a substantial horizontal extension of the crown reaching 34 cm in width, perfectly evoking the semi-cascade style (Han-Kengai) or the arms protruding into the void typical of cliff-side junipers.
As documented in the photo set (from image_100.png to image_108.png, excluding the intrusion of the screw in image_106.png), the bonsai features a sinuous and compact trunk from which, on the left side, emerges a dense and suggestive tangle of branches in dry wood (Jin), simulating the erosive action of natural elements. The crown on the right and central side is dense, scaled, and very full.
DIMENSIONS AND TECHNICAL DETAILS:
• Total height of the plant: 17 cm (Stunning ultra-compact Shohin proportion)
• Trunk width at the base: 4 cm (Excellent taper and solid base)
• Overall crown width: a full 34 cm (Great breadth and presence)
• Pot dimensions: 6 x 15 x 15 cm
• Pot type: Dark-colored round pot, ideal for counterbalancing the asymmetric horizontal development of the branches.
HEALTH STATUS AND AESTHETIC FEATURES:
- Excellent vegetative vigor: The crown shows excellent density of scale-like needles, healthy with bright green color, with areas of warm natural coppery tones typical of seasonal maturation of the essence.
- Ready for display: Thanks to the sturdy trunk and the clean dry wood, this juniper is already structured to look excellent in a Shohin collection or on a display pedestal.
SHIPPING AND SUPER PROTECTED PACKAGING:
Fast, trackable shipping throughout Italy and Europe with express courier.
The specimen will be shipped with a professional “armored” packaging. The round pot will be securely fixed to the bottom of the box to prevent movement. Given the semi-cascade shape of the crown and the presence of delicate dry-wood twigs on the side, an internal protective frame will be custom-made to ensure the bonsai arrives perfectly intact at its destination.
