I acquired this old Mikawa Japanese Black Pine from the late Harry Hirao collection. The old pine is a very nice piece that still needs to be wired and shaped. The tree is of the variety known as “Mikawa” Japanese Black pine. The main feature of the “Mikawa” Black Pine is the corky bark and it is a highly sought after pine. In Japan this tree will be better classified as a Nishiki Cork Bark Pine tree. Bonsai artist Peter Tea says that in the Mikawa region of Japan, there are actually small areas that grow strange offshoots of Black Pines. The Nishiki Cork Bark Black Pine is one of these rare offshoots. The bark itself is very similar to that of the prized Mikawa black pine that is found throughout Japan. A portion of the deadwood was attached for aesthetic reasons, but it was so well done that you will be challenged to find where the attachment actually took place. F you like the pictures than I guarantee that you will love this bonsai tree. Because of its rarity and because it. Has all the right ingredients in becoming a masterpiece soon this tree is a must have for any collection. A massive trunk, excellent branching, and a super flaky bark that shows the trees age are just a few of attributes this bonsai provides. Complementing the impressive trunk as well as the entire composition is a. Ceramic’Tokoname’ training pot and it was placed in the pot half a year ago (13×6). 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.
