This is merely theoretically at the moment, but how long of a jin can you make?
I love jin, I think it is a gorgeous and beautiful way to accent a living tree, but what's to stop you from wiring a long thin branch to almost encircling the trunk of a tree, and then turning that entire branch into a jin?
For instance, I was watching Peter Chan doing his thing and saw this beautiful pre-bonsai, and he was talking about chopping off this long low branch. In my amateur vision, I wanted that to be a long tree framing wrap around jin. *Picture attached*
Again, theoretical, but tell me why it wouldn't work OR why my vision is wrong.
