Dry dwarf discovered by Armando Dal Col

dry mountain pine debarked

Surely it was a plant uprooted and over the valley by the rushing waters, playing somewhere.
This strain during his lifetime would attract the gaze of whoever had met and definitely some amateur Bonsai seeking Araki would find the tree of his dreams.
Nature is really a teacher, and we should draw near to you silently and humbly to learn his teachings.
I chose this larch for three reasons: the shape and size of the trunk of the tree; a high root suitable to embrace the rock that will be inserted into the stump to simulate a more savage; and finally the proportions that seem adequate in its entirety.

Armando Dal Col - Larch chosen for the tanuki

The root spanning rock simulate, with time, a natural vision and at the same time, the stone will give the impression of a gnarled trunk. Hence the name of inshogataishi. Adding the name Tanuki means that it will be remembered "false", is partly justified because the strain does not belong to the living plant.

Inshogataishi Tanuki - Armando Dal Col

Style Insho-Gata-Ishi differs from the style Ishi Zuki as support for a rock from the characteristic shape similar to that of an old and gnarled trunk mighty simulating continuity of the trunk.
