BONSAI TREE JUNIPER SAIKEI on STONE SLAB (SLATE). Height: The height of the composition from the soil line to the top of the apex is 12. Length: The length of the composition is 27 across. Depth: The depth is 10. The Japanese word Saikei. Literally translates as “planted landscape”. Of creating a living landscape in miniature form. Typically, a saikei is contained in a shallow ceramic tray or stone slab and within these containers, rocks and soil are arranged to suggest a natural landscape, often modeled on a specific type of real landscape like a mountain path or a seaside such as Pebble Beach in Monterey Bay, California. Whereas traditional bonsai features a single tree for one to contemplate a natural setting in nature; Saikei with its multiple trees, foliage, and hard-scape, transports you to an idyllic environment almost immediately. Along with Saikeis idyllic beauty, it also has within it a whole host of horticultural challenges not encountered with traditional bonsai. Because of the shallow container. With little room for roots to grow and an abundance of green moss, the composition requires that it be kept in a shaded area. Complementing the beautiful composition is a very fine piece of black Slate stone 27×11x. On a side note. Ive noticed that not too many sellers talk or write about things that should be done after you receive your tree so I will give you my two cents worth. When you receive your tree unpack it carefully. Cut the tape and plastic wrap from the pot and the branches if applicable. Secondly give the tree a good watering and then put the tree in a partially shaded spot for a few days to allow it to adjust. After several days of adjustment your new bonsai can be reintroduced to bright sun. Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to fire off a message.
