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.

Care guide

Light

Provide a bright position and adjust light to the species and season. For indoor growing, choose a bright window and supplement insufficient light with a suitable grow light.

Watering

Water thoroughly as the soil surface begins to dry. Let excess water drain away and avoid persistently saturated soil.

Airflow

Maintain airflow and check the inner foliage and drainage beneath the pot.

Care

Retain leafy sections when tidying branches. Please consult us before major pruning or repotting.
