Last tree from the Miyata-san. Height: The height of the tree from the soil line to the top of the apex is 13.5. Trunk Diameter: The trunk Dia, is approximately 2. Nebari (Root spread): The root spread is generous 5. Japanese Ceramic Pot: The dark brown unglazed ceramic container measure 11×8x4. This Prostrata Juniper, which is trained in an Informal Upright style, was created by Bonsai Master Kenji Miyata. When designing a bonsai one of the things that Mr. Miyata always seems to accomplish is to tell a story with the tree that he is creating. A successful bonsai tree must be more than just a plant in a pot. The tree should always generate some kind of emotion for it to be a successful composition. In the case of creating this tree, Miyata-san stayed close to his strong yet traditional Japanese bonsai technique. Miyata-san has been quoted as saying that classic Japanese bonsai trees of the highest quality are triangular and have branches that flow fluidly. In order to create this tree everything that was not necessary was removed. Despite this bonsai tree being a Kenji Miyata creation, the trees foliage was very over grown so some work needed to be done on the old canopy. When it comes to working with bonsai trees, one of the things that I absolutely love is when I get an opportunity to take an old completed bonsai that has been allowed to overgrow and bring it back to where it should be. This rustic Prostrata juniper (Juniperus Chinensis Prostrata) looks like a very old tree because it is. The actual age and history of the tree can be found in the thickness of the trunk as well as the aged round canopy, which is clearly the focal point of the tree. As previously mentioned the canopy and foliage have been recently cleaned and re-wired. Because this tree was restyled from a strong Hokidachi (broom) style to a more balanced looking tree many of the secondary and tertiary branches needed to be re-wired, but the primary branches being already set did not require wiring. What this means for its new owner is, this trees canopy will be a show ready very soon. The sinuous trunk is also very impressive due to the thickness and. Texture that is rarely found in a tree this small. Any consider the Prostrata juniper to be one of the easiest junipers to work with because of its resilient ability to handle many environments. Overall, the composition of this Juniper conveys a tree that has lived its entire life on an open prairie and it shows in its natural beauty. Short history of Kenji Miyata.
