I added some initial movement / shape to my Japanese Larch today!

My long term goal, at the moment, is to turn this into a Literati design.

Depending on how growth goes and how the branches / silhouette looks come fall when the needles drop, I might opt to lean into an informal upright future for this tree.

Good job. I think you've managed to put enough variety into the bends to avoid the commercial S shaped trunk. Should be a solid basis to hang some branches on as the trunk thickens.
