Juniperus chinensis - Juniper - 46 cm

The bonsai of Juniperus chinensis (Chinese Juniper), an attractive evergreen conifer, is prized for its elegance and remarkable durability. The needle-like, deep green, dense and compact foliage creates well-defined masses that enhance the structure and give depth to the composition. Over time the bark tends to crack, taking on a mature appearance, which adds to the character of the specimen. This bonsai is grown in the rock style (Seki-joju), where the trunk develops adhering to the stone and the roots wrap around the rock in a scenographic way, evoking the strength of nature and the plant's ability to adapt to impervious environments. The whole conveys balance, solidity and harmony, with a dynamic line that accompanies the eye from the base to the top of the foliage. It is grown in a rectangular unglazed stoneware pot with natural, textural tones that recall the elements of earth and rock, enhancing the authenticity of the composition and giving the bonsai a majestic and refined appearance.
