Happy,

Welcome to the forum. Hinoki is great for bonsai. Follow this link to see what's possible from 5 year old cuttings! Fred...for beginners, I don't see why they should not be used like procumbens. They are flexible, have many small branches and back bud profusely. I haven't repotted many, so maybe there is a difficulty there?

Happy....when taking photos for advice, always show the base where the trunk meets the soil. This is one of the most important pieces if info needed when making bonsai. If possible, pull the tree from the nursery pot and clean the debris from the top of the rootball and take a photo against a plain backdrop. There are a few trunks on this tree, so the first step is to decide which one(s) to keep.

Best Regards,

David
