Can I ask, with white pines, why is it that the first branch (or sashino eda, I think they call it) is often styled disproportionatly long?

I Like the display, I would have liked a lower stand. The 'squat' shape of the tree and the rock it is grown on seem to demand a more masculine shape in the stand, if you know what I mean. Thanks for posting these, pics and the discusions are a good resource for those of use unfamiliar with formal displays.
