A tree hollow, formed from withered parts of the trunk, peeks out from the base of the roots while the upper part of the trunk rises, embracing the shari, or dead whitewood, that runs along it. The name of this bonsai is “Chihiro”, the Chinese characters for which mean “fathomless”; a name well suited for this piece, which gives the feeling of the fathomless amount of time this tree has lived.
