🌿 Pine - Raft-Style (Ikadabuki) & Tanuki Bonsai 🛶

A stunning blend of resilience and artistry, this bonsai embraces both Ikadabuki and Tanuki styles—creating a harmonious display of life intertwined with aged driftwood. The horizontal trunk gives rise to multiple vertical branches, evoking the image of a fallen tree regenerating into a miniature forest. Meanwhile, the Tanuki technique, where young growth integrates with weathered wood, enhances the natural contrast between age and vitality.
