Love that tree, lots of potential there, great movement and definitely is a nana, which is one of my favorite junipers!Here are a few more up close.
The angle I showed is where you see more foliage at the end of the branches and less inside. On other angles, it's fuller. Where can I get Shimpaku cuttings?Nice.
To be honest, It seems the folaige is so far away from the trunk, you might consider picking up some Shimpaku cuttings, and growing them out while you practice grafting.
Skip worrying about it's ID, make it what you want and get good branch location starts.
Seems a decision that should be made before exerting much effort into it.
Having tight folaige close to that trunk will work accentuate it's sexiness! Seems you could have some Medusa Jins too! Those can be neat.
