This lesson covers both basic and advanced techniques for carving jin on a shohin juniper intended for a rock-planting composition. It explains why you sometimes leave the jin longer, how to crush bark fibres with yatto-ko, judge the live vein (water flow), peel the bark cleanly, and refine the outline with wire—all the key points for achieving a natural, weathered texture.
