This is perfect eric! I just some 2 year old red pines right for this kind of thing. what would you suggest to do with a classic T section on such young pines?
I always remove bar branches ASAP, and the whorls need to be thinned to 1 branch and the main leader as soon as you can. You can thin the buds in the fall to prevent swelling in spring. You want to encourage more needle buds where you can - young red pines bud copiously in my experience but they can also reverse taper more easily than black pines. Good luck.
It's a Japanese language book and the title roughly translates to "Thorough Introduction to 36 Types of Bonsai". I just checked the Kinbon site and found it after a bit of poking around: www.bonsai.co.jp/products/detail/518. And actually the tree in question is shown on one of the sample pages shown on the website. (3rd image on my view, bottom middle of the book spread)
Yes, shaping small trees is not as easy as usually the Japanese make it look - It is an art in itself. When you watch even the best Japanese bonsai pro's, they do take their time.
The minimalistic approach of both mame and bunjin is what appeals to me.
I love the stop motion
Fair play, you created something special with such unpromising material ERIC.
Bunjin is a very unique and cool style. Thank you for sharing how you'd do this!
Really interesing Eric. Would love to see a follow up on this one to see how you make the apex's.
Literati is definitely one of my favorite styles 👌

Wonderful video! Just wondering what is the book you got inspiration from.
Thanks David.

"Scare off any birds". But the shiny wire attracts magpies! And next thing you know, half your pines belong to crows. Classic error.
