BONSAI TREE LITERATI (BUNJIN) STYLE PROSTRATA JUNIPER in DRUM POT. Nebari (Root Spread): Tree show many exposed roots (6 wide) that are surrounded by moss. Height: The height of the tree from the soil line to the top of the apex is 27. Trunk Diameter: The trunk Dia, is approximately 1.75. Canopy: 18 at widest area. A literati style tree is something different from other bonsai trees that typically represent a tree style in nature. Literati is more complex, symbolic, and very strong in elegant movement as well as aesthetically pleasing. There is little doubt that it is one of the most fascinating of all styles and also one of the hardest to successfully create. Hanging in the realm between nature and vision, realism and impressionism, dream and reality, literati captures our imagination and in doing so, encompasses all that bonsai is and was meant to be. Notes on the tree. One thing that has always been emphasized and taught to me is that in bonsai what is not there is just as important as what is there (branches). In the case of this tree, anything that was not absolutely crucial to the trees story was removed or jinned. Another aspect of bonsai that is just as important as negative space comes in the form of Wabi Sabi. Abi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in the transience and imperfection of all things. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. In Japan, the concept is so deeply ingrained in Bonsai that its difficult to separate one from the other. Through Bonsai, we can learn to embrace the beauty of our imperfect lives. Overall, the composition of this Prostrata juniper (Juniperus Chinensis Prostrata) shows a tree that has weathered the tough times and has emerged as something more beautiful because of it. The old and seasoned thick trunk and its low hanging branches gives one the impression of a tree that has spent its entire life by the edge of a cliff. Working in concert with the beautiful rustic posture of the tree is an equally impressive Drum style Yixing ceramic bonsai pot (12×3). 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.
