Personally, this movement was in the biggest flaw of this bonsai. In contrast, the vegetation was vigorous, mature and balanced. The live vein is well defined with respect to dry wood and branches proportional to the diameter of the trunk ..... but that movement of the trunk just did not like.
A cylindrical, monotonous movement can 'be masked with the inclination. E 'was sufficient to tilt the vessel to the left and rotate backward the bonsai in order to obtain an entirely different effect. The redesign work begins on this new angle!
It begins with the usual cleaning of wood and vegetation, before moving to the thinning. After pruning is the time to spin all the branches.
