from_bush_to_beauty

A Chamacyparis obtusa i acquired in a small nursery as a fairly neglected bush.

The leafs of this particular cultivar are very brittle, so not easy to style this specimen wtihout losses.

The first styling-session therefor had its "collateral-damages" ...

The bark of the trunc is very mature.

Since this hinoki-cultivar is growing very slowly i consider the tree to be pretty old.

Over all the plant is a bit to dense (as always in my Hinoki-projects) to keep the energy.

I look forward to reduce the design in future as well as improving the ten-jin, if not removing it ...

And the source-plant as rawest material. 

I tried to show the status quo blended into the former dimension of the 

bushy scrub :
