Budda no hiza (仏陀の膝)

The ongoing refinement of this 'Mikawa' Black Pine continues to be a very pleasing process.

As we all know this process never ends and in this case there is lots to do to reduce the needle size through increasing the ramification.  A fortunate characteristic of the 'mikawa' variety is that they bud back on old wood without to much encouragement.
