Description from the seller

COLLECTION SPECIMEN - JUNIPER COMPOSED WITH A POWERFUL ANCIENT JIN WOOD

FOR SALE: a bonsai masterpiece of extraordinary character and visual impact: a Juniper (Juniperus) in full Shohin/Kifu style, distinguished by exceptional structural maturity. As widely evidenced by the complete photo set (from image_48.png to image_55.png), we are facing a unique specimen, ideal for demanding collectors and lovers of the dramatic naturalistic style.

The artistic and visual centerpiece of this plant is the majestic central composition of dry ancient wood (Jin/Shari). The macro details (magnificently visible in image_48.png, image_50.png and image_54.png) reveal the magnificent texture of the peeled fibers, which rise vertically at the center of the crown, echoing ancient alpine junipers. The trunk has a massive presence with a base width of 6 cm, guaranteeing an exaggerated conicity on only 19 cm of total height. The crown is dense, healthy, and symmetrically distributed to the sides of the deadwood for a width of 32 cm (image_49.png, image_51.png).

TECHNICAL DIMENSIONS AND DETAILS:
• Base trunk width: 6 cm (Exceptional thickness, a sign of great maturity and stability)
• Total plant height: 19 cm (Perfect compact proportion with high visual density)
• Overall crown width: 32 cm (Branches spread horizontally, healthy and well defined)
• Pot dimensions: 5 x 10 x 16 cm
• Pot type: Fine rectangular glazed ceramic pot in teal/aquamarine with feet, creating a spectacular color contrast with both the dark bark and the vibrant green of the foliage.

HEALTH STATUS AND AESTHETIC DETAILS:
- Optimal vigor: The scaled foliage appears clean, dense, and in a bright, vivid green shade, indicating perfect health and an active root system (macro detail in image_55.png).
- Maintained base (Nebari): The plant’s collar is stable and wrapped in a soft, natural layer of fresh moss (image_52.png, image_53.png).

SHIPPING AND PROFESSIONAL RIGID PACKAGING:
Ultra-fast, trackable, and 100% guaranteed shipping within Italy and Europe via express courier (shipping not included, listed separately).
Given the high collectible value and the delicate central vertical JINs, the plant will be protected with a tailored "armored" packaging protocol. The glazed ceramic pot will be anchored and mechanically secured to the bottom of the box to prevent any movement. The entire crown and the upper dry-wood structure will be protected by layers of high-quality soft cushioning material, ensuring the specimen arrives intact and pristine in every fiber.
