A closer look

Look from the roots towards the crown, following the trunk and the spaces between branches. The photographs and video offer different views of this individual tree.

Jin & Shari | The Art of Deadwood

Jin refers to a dead branch or branch tip, naturally weathered or carefully refined by bonsai techniques. Its pale, sculptural lines contrast with the living green foliage.

Shari is an exposed strip or area of deadwood on the trunk, alongside living bark and the vital live vein. Together they reveal the passage of time and the tree's continued growth.

Look at the interplay of deadwood, live veins, foliage and negative space. Not every Shimpaku has jin or shari; please refer to the actual photographs and video for this individual tree. Deadwood work and lime-sulphur treatment should be undertaken with care to avoid damaging living tissue.
