Still a long way to go, this is a 1 year progression from 2012 till 2013.
I'm going for a shohin size [ < 250 mm ]
Initially it was going to be a classical bunjin, but during one of the wiring stages the image of a weeping style bunjin came in mind and that's the direction this design is going now.
Bunjin or literati is a special style in bonsai.
There are some rules and lots of free interpretation.
I did mess up when I defoliated the tree, but I needed to see the structure I was creating without the leaves blocking the view.
It seems to have taken the stress rather well and is currently putting up new growth.
I think I will stick to this height for now and start to concentrate on the roots and ramifications.
