Tosho Juniper Shohin, #2541
Tak Shimazu, Dec 2025.
Do not wire or stress it this winter, as it is brittle.
In spring will wire the first branch to fold back tightly over the trunk, add rotation and movement.
Leave sacrificial branch to bulk up the trunk.
Mar 31, 2026 Wire & Repot
Shohin movement, twist in apex
Jin thick branch (possibly wire movement)
Started Shari line on the lower inner curve (to create lower width and fin growing on the outside).
Small colander, lava base, small aggregate mix on top
Carve Jin to a creative taper and wire movement (possibly use heat or split the branch to be more flexible).
[Trying to propagate cuttings]
