Hello everybody

I bought this Kishu variety Juniper, I've already got some ideas about the image, but I'm a neophyte and I wouldn't want to make exaggerated mistakes.
Do you have any advice? maybe you see things I don't see.
Which style would you go to?

Thanks in advance.

Nope! The pictures don't show that much!

No worries.
Welcome to Crazy!

Really, all we can say is, "move this green tuft here".
But what really matters is the branches used to get t there, and the direction in which they go. Their size, distance from trunk to first fork, position, position relative to the "front", position relative to each other, etc...
All this matters.

Matters a lot cuz this looks like a dope start.

I don't want to do irreversible damage. I thought of a semi cascade to the right. the first photo could be the front. but bunjin wouldn't be bad either.

Where are you located Pactu? It's spring over here, not the best time to be wiring junipers.

Anyhow, whenever I'm stuck on a tree, especially junipers, I just start wiring. It'll form itself over the course of that wiring session pretty much. After that, it's just a matter of removing stuff that shouldn't be there.

Thank you

It seems I forgot to respond, sorry for that. Fall, early winter and late winter are the best wiring moments for most junipers.
As for the design, I think this could work! But in general people advise against having branches on the inside of curves. In your case, that's the only branch left ;-)
No branches on the inside of curves is a guideline of course, it's your tree and if you're happy with it, then it's alright.
