Two Pinus parvifolia - Literati

G'day folks,

Here are two of my Pinus parvifolias, Literati style, after just being restyled, as both trees were/had been a tad neglected by the previous owner.

Particular characteristics:
This Japanese White Pne is the most commonly used pine for bonsai in Japan. It is an evergreen with very short stiff needles forming blue/green tufts of foliage at the branch tips, creating an overall fine texture to the trees silouette. The brownish red cones are one to four inches long. The needles grow in groups of five which is why it is known as "five-needle-pine". Hardy. Keep outdoors.

Genus: Pinaceae.
Common name: Japanese White Pine.

Pinus parvifolia (01)

Style: Literati [BUNJIN-GI].
Size: Height, 46.5cm [18 ¼“].

Container: Round, brown, unglazed, Japanese pot with "key" design on upper, outer rim.
Diameter, 22cm [8 ½“], height, 8cm [3 ¼“].

Pinus parvifolia (02)

Style: Literati [BUNJIN-GI].
Exposed-root [NE-AGARI].
Size: Height, 50cm [19 ¾“].

Container: Round, brown, unglazed, Chinese drum pot.
Width, 16cm [6 ¼“], height, 6cm [2 ¼“].
