Species: Juniper (Juniperus) Style: Raft Style (Ikadabuki) Size Category: Shohin For auction is a remarkable Juniper Bonsai shaped in the prestigious and difficult-to-achieve Raft style (Ikadabuki). This style represents a fallen tree in nature where the original trunk lies horizontally on the ground, and its branches have grown vertically to create the appearance of a small, interconnected forest sharing a single root system. The tree is planted in a high-quality glazed rectangular pot with a beautiful celadon/seafoam green finish. The pot features a subtle crackle glaze and a light patina that perfectly complements the vibrant green foliage of the Juniper. The exposed root base (nebari) is strong and well-developed, showing great maturity. This specimen is in excellent health, with dense, vigorous foliage and a well-defined structure. The raft style is highly sought after by collectors as it requires years of patient training to harmonize the multiple "trunks." Measurements: • Trunk diameter (at the base): 4 cm • Tree height: 15 cm • Crown width: 25 cm • Pot dimensions: 12 x 9 x 6 cm Condition & Shipment: The tree is thriving and shows mature bark texture.
