I like the display though. Perhaps if you had a tall root stand, that might work better for the red pine? Just an idea.
My line of thought: Shohin box stand & square stand feel too similar. Tall root stand would provide contrast and pair well with the exposed roots of the red pine.
Regardless, I really like it! Nice to see thought going into display!!!
I wish I had a nice root stand! Good idea, though. I have another cascade stand for the red pine. Shorter, wider, and it's a hexagon shape.
The kusamono was just something we found to put there. Yes, it's much too large.
I also have a wood stand that matches the base of the box to go under the red pine and kusamono.
For those who can't see what the trees are:
Top: Japanese Black Pine
Upper Left: root over rock Trident Maple
Upper Right: Hinoki Cypress
Lower Left: azalea (will be Olive)
Lower Right: Zelkova broom style
Far Right: Japanese Red Pine
