This lesson demonstrates jin and shari techniques that enhance the natural beauty of a 30-year-old Shimpaku juniper. You’ll learn how to carve a shari that follows the trunk’s natural flow, treat the base with moisture control in mind, and use annual-ring patterns to create an aged look—all within the delicate scale of shohin bonsai. The course also shows how to design new compositions by incorporating existing shari, providing a full set of skills for bringing out the tree’s maximum appeal.
