Thanks dude! Yeah def that style, though I’m a year or two off before a transfer it to a pot. What I may do though is slip pot it into an Anderson flat, just to get the thing in prime health.Found this shopping for myself. Shipping is too high.
Colour may be too red for you IDK, but it's toned down a lot from the one it's currently in as for reds.Japanese TOKONAME bonsai pot Unglazed Round Sign:Yamaaki Extra large W16.1 inch | eBay

After a not great, not bad, but not great start to the season for this tree, things are really starting to hum. I had some brown tips all over the tree, but had also quite a few shoots of new growth and extensions.
I decided to do a repot into an Anderson flat with mostly pumice and really chopstick the substrate into the root system. this to really ensure proper oxygen flow to the roots. I think that has been a problem of mine with junipers in the past. Paired with a granular treatment in spring and a once monthly spray, the brownin and yellowing has stopped and it’s all new growth with extensive back budding in branches that suffered most.
I’m going through on this fine Burque summer evening and pulling wire that is biting into keeper branches. I still have plans on jinning quite a few lower branches and some intermittent up the trunk. Focused on health and extensions for now.

I see this tree in a low dark unglazed square with the walls recurved at 60 degrees outwards and an exaggerated lip between 1" - 1.5".
What do you envision?

Initial thought was a well executed nanban. Tokaname of some sort. Next thought was also a recurved pot but in a hex shape. A bit more rounded, smooth and refined. Possibly with a subtle foot detail. I’ll post some pics of thoughts. I love your input Pitoon.

Wow, cool find with these. I like your styling too.
Have you ever considered taking some of the other "long straight ones" and creating a small/medium Shimpaku forest? I wanted to try one years ago but found that it was too difficult to find the material.

Thanks Matt! As a matter of fact I’m currently working on air layering quite a few branches/trunks on several others I have, with the intention of either creating a group planting or more individual plantings. I have five in the works right now.

Those are nice but I was referring to the curve going out verse going in like a bag pot.

I’d love to see an example if you wouldn’t mind! If you can find an image of what you were thinking at least.

It was something that just came into my head when I relooked at your tree. The only way to show an image would be for me to make it and post it.

Really filling out. Due to the apparent Heath issues in a few areas I did little to no work. I do need to remove all of the wire at this point though. Can’t wait to trim up and re style next year.

Removed all the wire last year so the trunks need reorientation, but the growth and health is top notch right now. Due for a styling sometime this year.
