This piece, presented in the *shindensha* style, embodies the majestic spirit of ancient trees found amidst rugged mountain peaks. After decades, or even a century, of enduring wind and snow, the branches are sculpted by time, forming a silhouette of deadwood resembling white bones, like a poem penned by nature itself. - With a masterfully crafted hand, the designer blends the traces of natural weathering with the aesthetics of human refinement, meticulously shaping a form that exudes vigorous strength and a dynamic balance of presence and absence. Every twist and break in the branches bears the marks of time and nature intertwined—a testament to life's tenacity, and a reflection of the serene Zen essence found in Eastern aesthetics. [Care Essentials] [Sunlight] Recommended for cultivation in locations receiving partial to full sun. [Watering] Water thoroughly when the surface of the soil begins to dry. During hot summer months, when moisture evaporates quickly, be mindful to prevent the plant from drying out. [Fertilizing Recommendation] Spring fertilizing period: Mid-March to end of June. If the soil was repotted in the current year, it is advised to wait at least one month after repotting for the plant to stabilize and adapt before fertilizing to prevent root burn. [Important Notes] All potted plants sold do not include decorative items such as display objects, shelves, or bamboo mats. For complete display arrangements, please contact customer service separately.
