AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Juniper Bonsai with Dry Wood – 7 cm Trunk – Sculptural Monolith 43 cm
Description:
For sale: an imposing artistic creation with a strong visual impact—a Juniper Bonsai (Juniperus) developed around a prominent vertical element of dry-worked wood (Tenjin / Jin) that rises to 43 cm in height.
The composition boasts a solid and vigorous base with a trunk/nebari diameter of 7 cm, where the living vein of the foliage wraps and blends perfectly with the dry wood carved by time. The crown features needles in a bluish-green/shiny color, well distributed on asymmetrical branches that give movement and natural balance.
Measurements and Technical Details:
Total height (plant + dry wood monolith): 43 cm
Crown width: 34 cm
Base trunk/nebari width: 7 cm (excellent conicity and solidity)
Pot size: growing bowl/pre-bonsai 9 cm (height) x 20 cm x 20 cm (diameter)
Style: Tanuki Sculptural / High-altitude vertical monolith
Key Strengths:
1. Dramatic Vertical Momentum: The aged dry wood summit dominates the composition, simulating ancient alpine trees that survived the elements.
2. Integration of Live Vein and Dry Wood: Close-up trunk details show excellent visual continuity between the reddish-barked trunk and the patterns of the dead wood.
3. Ready for Show Pot: A specimen already set up that, with the choice of a definitive ceramic dark pot or unglazed stoneware, will express all its collectible potential.
