I have just been looking through the latest issue of Bonsai Today (#97).
Does the Neeldle Juniper on page 13 look like a tanuki to anyone else
besides me?

To me the live veins look a bit odd; they look quite round, and don't seem
to really be part of the trunk, more like they are just laying on top of
the dead wood. Also, at the base where the live vein enters the soil, the
grain on the dead wood looks like it wants to keep going to the right, but
the live section takes a sharp downward turn over the end of the dead part
and enters the soil.

Any other opinions or comments? Does anyone have any inside information on
this tree?
