This buxus japonica is one of several that were collected from an old hedge.
Over the years it's been reduced considerably to it's present size, 6.5 inches above the pot rim.
I expect the coming growing season to substantially increase the foliage mass.

Learning the mechanics of bonsai is a matter of rote. Over and over again the processes are practiced until the hands and eyes know the moves.
Learning the art of bonsai may be more like water wearing away a stone, or climbing a mountain where the peak is always shrouded in fog and just out of reach.
Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.
