Post #4713362

I started a juniper cascade today. The cascade was no problem. I prined and clipped merrily, looking for the statue in the block of marble as it were. But then, what to do with that strong, stiff, blocky stem? The obvious answer seems to be to make a jin of it.

When I was in my mid twenties, I loved the look of the jin and shari. They were dramatic, exciting in a way. But now, many years later, artheritic shoulder aching if I do too much, I look at the jin and shari of trees and think, "D---, I'll bet that hurts!" Anthropomorphism at its best.
