This black pine is believed to be over 100 years old. It is part of a collection I aquired from the daughter of Mr. Mysuki an avid bonsai master. He had imported it from Japan many years ago and worked on its development for about 40 years. I have had it for 14 years and continued with its development to the present. Two years ago I had Kathy Shaner, world reknowned bonsai master and teacher re-design it into a more semi-upright style. She mentioned that it may have been collected in the mountains in Japan, from the looks of it and its apparent age. The photos are not the greatest to show off this bonsai's beauty and form, but I am not a professional photographer. A couple of the photo's show the exposed roots in more detail and a top view gives you an idea of its complex branching. If you look closely you can see some small pine cones. As you know the needles of black pine are extremly long, but these are about 2\" maximum due to constant needle removal and the age of the bonsai. There are several areas, such as the roots and some of the major trunk that have shari of sorts. The dimensions are 15\" tall and 30\" long and approx. 24\" wide. It is planted in a 12\" round unglazed bonsai pot, in a mix of akadama and kanuma. The trunk is over 3\" not counting the nebari.
